Surprises!

As previously mentioned, Landon-man is stuck in the hospital for high fever and some GI issues.

Little man has been very sick.




















And very sad.





















Little man hasn't been wanting to eat or drink, and it has been killing everyone to see our normally happy little guy like this.

 Mom used the term "heartwrenching". And she was completely right.

So, as we were cooking dinner, the wheels in me and "Unca Cad's" minds were turning.

Lindsay had texted me earlier in the day, saying little man was asking for "Cad".

So after calling Mom, we decided to make a little trip up to Mercy hospital...

...Secretly of course.

So we headed up after dinner to the hospital, by way of "A-Donalds" to get Landon a happy meal.

As we headed into the hospital, and up to his room, I was getting more and more excited to see how Landon would react.

As we came into the room, Little Man's eyes lit up and he smiled.

That look was worth the whole trip.

And then Lindsay came over and hugged me and thanked us for coming.

Probably my favorite part of the visit, was the first few words out of Landon's mouth...

He was looking at Unca Cad adoringly, and he told us all, "I like him! I like Cad!"

Then Landon set out to eat his happy meal! We were thrilled we were eating.




















Landon LOVED playing with him and going on wagon rides.




















He also stayed more calm when hospital people came in for his breathing treatments and medicines.

After the grandparents and Uncle Gosh left, we stayed around a little longer,

And Landon said, "Unca Cad come lay by me!" so they could watch a movie!




















It was so fun to see them together, and totally worth the drive!

We'd do it over again in a heartbeat if we could!
