Canada Round 2

    Since Keaton is no longer at his hotel job, he had a little more flexibility in his schedule and wanted to go to Canada.  He hadn't been in 2 years!  So Keaton, my mom, Colt and I made the drive on Labor Day weekend.  It was not nearly as smooth of a trip as the last time.  Colt did not sleep through the night and made it a frustrating trip for everyone.  Of course, he was ready to go when we got there. 
     When we arrived, it was an overcast, dreary day with a little drizzle.  We made it just in time and got a boat taxi out to the island  right before the rain came down.  I wish I could take a good picture of it, because the island is absolutely the most beautiful place to watch a storm come in.  It was so fun to sit on the front porch and watch the rain come down.  My Uncle Craig arrived on the island just a few hours after us.  It was fun to have everyone there. 
     The first night we were there I thought Colt was acting a little funny so we took his temperature... yep.. 100.5.  He usually runs like 97 so I knew he wasn't doing too well.  We work up the next morning and took it again and it was 102.  We went through the day and did some work around the island and just hung out.  The night we had homemade ice cream (an island tradition) and Colt got his first taste.  Let's just say he LOVED it and there were plenty of people there who wanted to give him some.  He went from person to person reaching for their ice cream!
     The next morning we took his temperature again and it was 103, so we decided that we should come home and get him to the doctor.  The trip was shorter than I was hoping and I was so sad to leave, but we needed to make sure Colt was ok.  The trip home was even worse than the trip up.  Colt screamed and cried for HOURS!  We finally made it home at 6:30 in the morning.  I got to sleep for 2 hours and then we got up to go to the doctor.  They said he had a sinus infection.  They prescribed him an antibiotic and we went home. 
     When I woke him up the next day, he had a rash all over his body.  Apparently he is allergic to Penicillin.  The doctor said it was the fastest she had seen someone have an allergic reaction.  So we got a new medicine and he seemed to do better.  Three days later, his stool was bloody and red and we had to take him back to the doctor again.  We think we finally have it figured out.  Poor guy!
    I'll post some pics from the trip.  Enjoy
