So... Jason recovered from the flu

-started antibiotic (ZPAC)

-felt relief

-went to ER because his throat was swelling shut (reaction to the antibiotic)

-off the antibiotic

-Feels better

-goes to school (40 kids out of 100 out with the flu)

-Ear pain starts up again.

-Wants me to schedule a Dr. appt for him or get a prescription for Amoxil...



YIKES!



HOWEVER: Praise God that me and the kids haven't gotten sick yet.

The Flu

PRAYERS NEEDED Jason has come down with the flu and is having a rough time go it. I am doing a crummy job of helping him AND taking care of the kids - - let me rephrase that - - - I haven't been able to help him at all.

Also, having the flu isn't ANYTHING like you see in the Little Bear episode. What with friends coming to visit you and all, bringing stuff and hanging out in your room. And Mother Bear diagnosing it from a sneezing spell. Seriously, I think Anne wants to get the flu so she can have the kind of fun day that Little Bear had. Oh Boy.

Growth & A Rainbow

My thriving 'sproutlings'. We transplanted this squash to our raised beds in the garden last weekend and we will probably move our tomatoes & broccoli this weekend. We dug and filled our new plant beds while the kids were napping and there was something very satisfying about working next to my husband that afternoon. Turning up fresh earth, sweating and building something...together.

"...and after the rain had ceased, there appeared in the sky a radiant, colorful bow. A sign from God..."

Says Jason to Anne, "I hope you never grow up Sweetie."

Says Anne to Jason, "Daddy, I want to get big so I can read big books like you."

Jason..."(big smile)"
