Noah's week by the numbers...

Well....it has been a rather long week for Noah........and Noah's momma........and Noah's dad.....and let's just throw in Noah's doctor just for fun too. Since I grew up in sports and got high on statistics after a game, let's review Noah's week by the numbers:

4th: ...of July when Noah fell ill.

101-103.6....Noah's range of fevers

1....ear infection

5.....number of days with those fevers

2.....shots of Rocefin (sp) to zap those fevers

4.....trips to the doctor's office
