Anniversary Dinner Day 4

Sunday evening we had a wonderful time at Lola and Lolo's 50th Anniversary party at Alias Smith and Jones, their favorite restaurant. It was a small, quaint party made up of their family and closest friends. Everyone had a good time helping them celebrate their Golden Anniversary. Even Miles managed to make out with quite a few presents at this outing too. In the end he started running a fever again and had developed an all over rash, so this time we figured it was time for a trip to the ER.

After the party we headed back to Lola and Lolo's for a little more celebrating and then off to Long Island Jewish for our emergency room visit. We got to the hospital at about 9pm and stayed until a little after 2am. Miles was looked over thoroughly and then fell asleep shortly after our arrival. While we waited for a chest x-ray he caught up on plenty of sleep. The only ones who really suffered through the whole experience were Chris and I, since we were the two without a bed to sleep in.

After a repeat diagnosis of "viral", the same thing we heard back in Florida before we left, we headed back to the hotel for some well deserved rest and our last round of Ibuprofen. This, of course, was the last time Miles would run a fever for the remainder of our trip. The virus was just waiting for us to spend $100 at the ER and then it was on its way. By the next morning the rash was all gone and Miles was on the road to recovery........what a relief. Now if I could only say the same for the two of us, life would have been perfect!

Miles learned how to use the camera on this trip and these are a couple of his pictures that came out well:
