Andrew and Peter ran the Bill Gatton 5K this morning in Bristol. Dwayne decided to run at the last minute and got fifth overall and first in the Masters (40 and over!).
Peter was in the lead, but when they came down State Street for the finish, it was Andrew way ahead - running one of his best times. Peter was cruising in behind another man (I think he could have caught). It was exciting, and then there was Dwayne - in 5th!!!! Great day for the family!
We took the boys to IHOP to celebrate after the race, and Peter got a terrible headache. He went to lie down in the car, and Pete came back in. I went out to check on him and found him on the ground between the car and the grass, and he had gotten sick. We barely got him home. He had taken some ibuprofen, but he was totally miserable. I called our Peds Office, and they got him in. So we got home, and then I took him. He was very dehydrated. We gave him almost 30 oz of Gatorade, and then we came home. He is sleeping still. But his head was feeling better and better. His resting heart rate was 50, but it went to 80 when he sat up and to 90 when he stood. We barely missed an IV, and we are thankful for that! We did not want another trip to the ER either - bad memories for me and difficult people sometimes!
So Peter is sleeping, Andrew is resting, Will is with a friend, and Sam is....I guess I had better find out. I think he is following Daddy who is painting interior windows. They look so pretty and make the house look like a dollhouse. It is funny how much I get used to unfinished windows - having moved so much. Pete is a talented painter, so he can knock them out; but they are so tedious!
Looking forward to a peaceful afternoon!
