My Benjamany Has Pneumonia...........

I took Ben to the Dr. today and after sitting for an hour and a half and an x-ray we found he has pneumonia.  He's had a cough that wakes him up so we took him to the doctor.  Seems there was a little guy who was very dehydrated from the flu and they were trying to keep him from having to go to the hospital.  Our doctor was giving him fluids via IV.  We heard her trying to do that.  He moved at the wrong time and the screaming and crying that went on broke my heart..........I'm sure Dr. Jenn was upset too.
  Anyway after a long, long visit Ben was put on two antibiotics since he wasn't old enough for the adult strength antibiotic.  I hope he feels better soon.  He's happy since he has to stay home tomorrow!  What teen wouldn't want to sleep in and have a three-day weekend.
  This Saturday our church is having a Christian Homecoming for the kids.  It is formal dress and they had dresses that the girls could borrow.  Ben is going to be playing in the band that is the entertainment.  He's excited and I love to see him dressed up.
  I've been working on cards for Card Ministry and will post them soon.  I have 150 Christmas cards ready to go and 20 thank you cards, 20 get well and 20 sympathy cards.  I'm anticipating lots of people coming Friday because of the craft show last weekend and all the business cards I gave out for it.
  Happy Veterans Day.  We had an hour long assembly and honored about 30 Veterans.  I think it's important for our kids to learn about the sacrifice that many families have had to go through.
  Today at school we saw 5 deer walking and running around outside my classroom.  The kids stood at the window for a while so we could describe what the animals were doing, then we wrote about it.  That was the BEST writing piece we've had so far!
Well, I've got lesson plans to do.
Take Care and see what you think of this video.




I don't know about you but the last video make me cry..........thinking of my kids growing up and going off on their own.  Do you know that Ben wants to be a missionary in S. Africa?
Thanks for visiting today.  God Bless America and all those who have and are serving their country.
