Georgetown, TX

It was still raining when we pulled into Berry Springs RV Park in Georgetown, Texas. Last time we were there it was about 90*, so it was nice to see it in a new light. It was also a lot more crowed this time. We hooked up to one of the last available sites and get set up. Unfortunately, our stuff wasn't cooperating. The car wouldn't start and the refrigerator wouldn't go on. The car turned out to be vapor locked, but Mark figured it out. And the fridge had blown a fuse, which Mark also fixed.  

While Mark was fixing everything, Judah got on his jacket and rain boots, pulled out all of his toys, and played in the puddles. He even got his bike out to ride through the puddles. He was having a lot of fun.

In the mean time, Mark went inside and cheered on the Packers in their playoff game. He was pretty excited! When it started to get cold out, Judah came in too and we all snuggled up in the warm RV.

That night was rough. Judah had a horrible cough that wouldn't give him a break. It was just cough after cough. He was gagging, couldn't sleep, and felt miserable. And every time he would cough, Sawyer would wake up and need to be nursed back to sleep. It was a rough night. But we needed to make it through because the next day I was planning to drive to Round Rock to visit Round Rock Donuts and try one of their Texas sized pastries. I had to park down the block and wait in line for about 20 minutes, but it was totally worth it. These donuts were AMAZING! And huge! Supposedly they weight two pounds! (Look in the background of this picture--you can see poor Judah in the throes of one of his coughing fits.) 

Here is the Texas donut next to a regular sized one. They were go good!

After the donuts, it was pretty clear that Judah wasn't going to stop coughing. It was constant and horrible. So I found a nearby urgent care and brought him in. His cough was so intense that he had to wear a little mask. I brought some books to read to him, but he said he just wanted to lay down. It was so sad. They ended up just saying that he had an upper respiratory infection, but they did prescribe him some codeine cough medicine.

We went next door to the CVS and filled the prescription, which I immediately administered. It took two doses to get the cough to calm down. He just lay in bed and watched Scooby-Doo and drank water until he finally gave into the exhaustion a few hours later. By the next day, he was feeling a million times better.
