Liam got his yellow belt today. I don't think I have ever been so proud of him. It was awesome and he did it ALL BY HIMSELF. There was no one else testing today, so he was a one man show.

My neighborhood has started a Bible Study. I am excited about it because it is a pretty large group of women and we represent many different denominations. We have a reading assignment each week and then when we get together we watch the video that goes with it and then have time to discuss it and ask questions. We are doing Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself. It's a study on the fruit of the Holy Spirit. I just got the book today and have a lot of reading to do. The group met yesterday, but I was at home with Colm since he was sick, so I am already behind!!!

I could not put this book down. It is almost 400 pages and I read it in 2 1/2 days. It was one of those books that when you get to the end you want it to keep going because you want to know what happens next. Thanks, Dana, for the recommendation.

Sunday-Rotisserie Chicken, Cole Slaw, Bread
Monday- Rotel Chicken with rice
Tuesday-out to eat...busy night
Wednesday-Pulled Pork
Thursday-Liam's Birthday-out to dinner
Friday-Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Corn
Saturday-Salmon, Green Beans, Rice Pilaf

That was Colm's temperature last night. I don't think either one of our kids has ever had a temp that high. I think I cursed and prayed at the same time when I saw those numbers. I remained relatively calm and collected on the outside, but I was freaking out on the inside. He was on fire and his eyes were all crazy and he just wasn't there. I gave him some Motrin and it went down a little, but then went right back up after an hour, even with a cool washcloth on his head. Off to the hospital we went. We didn't have to wait too long and Colm slept the whole time we waited anyways so it wasn't too bad. They tested him for pneumonia, the flu and strep and all came back negative which is good, I guess, but we still don't know what he has. His still has a temp today, but nothing like it was yesterday. He is still lethargic and wants to do nothing but lay on the couch. So, the doctor gave us a list of symptoms to be looking for and if any of those happen we need to take him back ASAP, otherwise it just needs to run its course. We are now stocked up on Motrin and Tylenol so at least he will be relatively comfortable while his body does what it needs to do to fight those nasty germs.


****Update...The hospital called this afternoon and decided, after looking at his X-ray again, that he does have pneumonia. So we have antibiotics now which I am very happy about.
