Jackson was pretty sick with a virus not this last week but the week before. He was home from school from Tuesday on. He had a high fever, tons of vomiting, and just felt terrible in general. We were planning to go out for our anniversary the 25th, but were not able to because Jackson just felt too bad.
This week he is doing a lot better and he went to school all week. He is still having some GI issues beyond the ordinary though. It seems to slowly be getting better though.
We took him to fireworks for the first time this year. He has never been able to stay up that late before. I was not sure if he would even be able to see them (cortical vision impairment due to brain injury). But we thought we would give it a try. He looked really sleepy and I thought he might not be able to stay awake, but once the fireworks started he perked right up. He could at least see some of it and I think he really liked it. When a particularly exciting part of the show happened he made some appropriate appreciative noises and he smiled through a lot of it.
