new couch!

Friday was a tough day.  We took Everett to the hospital and found out about his bronchiolitis, so we felt pretty bummed.  Then when we walked through the door our apartment we were greeted with this:

  

A brand new leather couch!  

The school furnishes our apartment, so while our previous couch was a tad on the ugly/uncomfortable side we tried not to complain (it was free after all).  Over the past couple of years the school has been trying to update the furniture in the apartments and on Thursday we received this message from our school: "Tomorrow afternoon, new couch set will be delivered into your APT!!!!! No more fabric, no more green & yellowish, no more HARD sponge!!!!!"

Here's the best pic I could find of the old couch. I think the model is pretty cute....

 In the midst of all the sickness, etc. we forgot the new couch was coming, so it was a nice surprise on a down day.  The new couch is great! We have already learned that it is so much easier to clean spit up off the leather than the fabric.   :-)

Quick Everett update: This weekend has gone pretty well. We are not doctors, so we can't be sure, but Tom and I do not think Everett has gotten any worse.  For the most part he seems to have stabilized, and his mood has been more pleasant today.   We have also discovered that we can see/feel his bottom teeth.  They are so so so close to breaking through the surface.  Bronchiolitis and teething at the same time...poor little guy.

We also learned at E's doctor appointment that he now weighs 19.5 lbs and is 26.5 inches long.  Based on our calculations that makes Everett in the 99% for weight and 92% in height.  The outfit he is wearing above is a 9 month old outfit!  And he'll be four months old in two days...! 

Thanks for your kind words and prayers about E's health. Please keep them coming.
