Hiccups

Pete's parents arrived on Saturday to help us out for the next week. They had a bit of excitement on the way as they did some unplanned deer hunting. Somewhere around Paint Rock on HWY 72 a deer decided to sacrifice itself to their car. Honda CRV: 1, Deer: 0. I guess the deer deserves some partial credit since the Honda's radiator is shaped like a banana now. Fortunately, it's still drivable.

Yesterday Jack started to get a little congested so that sent us in a panic. All of Laura's experience as a pediatric nurse went right out the window so she called the on-call doctor for the weekend. After hanging up, Laura sheepishly confessed his advice was no different than the advice she has given countless parents in the past. A little suction to get the junk out, some saline drops and a cool mist humidifier seem to have Jack feeling better today.

Last night he was a bit restless though and this morning got an outrageous case of the hiccups. It lasted for almost two hours. Fortunately, the camera was charged and rewound so I got a little bit of it on film. The video's a bit dark since all the lights were out, but the sounds are pretty funny. Well, for everyone but Jack that is...
