Favorite Foto Friday

This was taken July 20, 2002. We were attendants at Leslie (Eric's little sis) and Patrick's wedding. It was an action packed week with rehearsal dinner on Thursday night, rehearsal on Friday and the wedding on Saturday. Their wedding was beautiful and we had a great time!

HUGE PRAISE!!!

We just returned from the doctor's office. His pneumonia is still there, but it had gotten better. His doctor said that when pneumonia gets really bad, it actually hardens the lungs (which they DID NOT want to happen). He also got some medicine to help his cough. So Eric is at home with him today. I came to work so I will be able to stay home with him tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers! They worked!

Sick Boy!!!!

We found out yesterday that Luke has pneumonia. It has been a long week of sickness. He had fever last Sunday night and Monday and we took him to the doctor on Tuesday. She said his lungs sounded clear, ears and throat were good. She swabbed him to check for flu and that came back negative.

He went to school on Wednesday and Thursday, but was not 100%. When I picked him up from Nena & Papa's house on Thursday afternoon, he was acting really tired and he was burning up with fever. He had 102.9. So he missed school again on Friday. We took him to the walk-in clinic on Saturday morning. When she listened with her stethoscope she said his lungs sounded wheezy, so she ordered blood work (via fingerprick-thank goodness!!!!) and an X-ray. His blood work came back normal, but his X-ray showed that he had pneumonia. She said it was pretty bad. She said if he was not significantly better by Monday, they would need to admit him to the hospital. After getting a shot in the leg, he was sent home with an inhaler and an antibiotic, but the fever has not gone away. I knew he was feeling horrible when I offered to take him to Toys R Us for being brave and he said he wanted to go home instead. Man! That is NOT like him! :)

Please keep him in your prayers. I will keep you all posted.

Sorry the picture is sideways! I could not figure out how to turn it around. Does anyone know how to upload a vertical picture onto Blogspot? I know other people have had this problem.

Look at my little beach bum! Luke was almost one in this picture. He was so happy on this day! My friends, Paula & Michelle, at Picture This Photography did an AWESOME job with this shoot (I hope you don't mind me putting this on my blog). It's one of my all-time favorite pics of him and today is my very first time to use my new scanner I got for Christmas. I sure miss him being this small.

Disney World-Here we come!!!

It's official!!!! We are going to Disney World! I AM SO EXCITED! I have been researching all the parks, resorts, touring plans, restaurants, character meals, etc. etc. etc. It's quite overwhelming, but I think I'm finally getting it. We now have an itinerary and dinner reservations each night. I think I'm driving both of them a little crazy with all this, but it takes planning! My friend, Shonda, was a HUGE help with her family's itinerary from a few years back. We are going the first part of May! Luke's really pumped about his first airplane ride and getting to see Animal Kingdom.

Sisters in Christ Party

Last weekend, the girls in my Sunday School class all got together at Shannon's house. We had a Mexican potluck and the food was great. We had so much fun getting to know each other through some silly games. Thanks girls for putting up with me! We all didn't get together during Christmas, so we all brought dirty Santa gifts. I'm so happy to say that Jennifer ended up with the crazy-eyed Victorian tree topper that I brought. Ha! I love all the girls in my class so much! I pray that we all grow closer to Christ each and every day.
