Quick Update!

Today is my grandmother’s 89th birthday!  I am very thankful for her.  We are celebrating at her house in Abingdon tomorrow from 4-6 if anyone wants to stop by!  First, we have the MS Walk at Sugar Hollow.  We are walking on my mom’s team in support of her and so many other friends who live with MS every day.

I am also thankful today for a very good (great, actually) visit to the pediatric cardiologist with Sam.  The story is quick but has a lot of twists and turns, but the outcome is wonderful.  We don’t have to worry about his new heart murmur, and we don’t have to go back.  The doctor was great and so good with Sam.  He knew what he was doing, and I watched as he made sure Sam’s heart was pumping as it should.  His EKG was normal.  He told Sam he has a great heart, and Sam beamed.  He really liked the doctor and talked about him a lot after we left.  We are glad to be home and watch the new episode of Shark Tank tonight with that burden fully lifted!  Thanks to those of you who prayed.  Not many knew, but I know they prayed.

We actually found this when Sam was at our pediatrician last week sick.  He was sick again this week and has missed most of the last two weeks of school for snow or illness.  But he cannot go with a fever or strep.  My boys never run fevers, but two have been doing exactly that lately!

Andrew is sick again.  He ran such a great 5000 at Wake Forest, and then his knee hurt after a good workout the next week.  He has been running in the pool but has been outside the last couple of days feeling much better.   In the meantime, he ran a slight fever and ended up with bronchitis but seems to look much better than he did a couple of days ago!

We are looking forward to spring and prettier weather.  Winter is great, but we are excited to be outside without boots and coats!

Thanks to all of you who pray.  We hope Andrew will just pick up where he left off with his PR and jump right back in.  Spring is always hard for him – it has been the last several years.

Thanks again!  Have a great weekend!

Love,
Wendi


P.S.  If you need a great new CD, my aunt got one for me at Lifeway that is Easter with different artists.  I am so glad Easter is later this year – more time to reflect and celebrate and think.  Of course, it’s good to do that all year, but Easter is such a special time.  #8 is my favorite right now – Kari Jobe’s “What Love is This” – you can google it too!
