It's been wild around here the last two weeks.  My son was diagnosed with the flu.  Had to take him to his pediatrician 3 times during the last two weeks (the trip is 1 hour away).  The last time we went was tuesday the 5th, he was finally over the flu and able to go back to school.  He did have a mild ear infection though.  He's doing well and it's great to have him back in school.

The year before last, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She had 2 mastectomies, at different times.  She went through chemo last year and was declared a SURVIVOR!!  Last wednesday, the 6th, she had the first part of her reconstructive surgery.  Took 4 hours, and before we could see her, we were informed she had to be taken back in because there was excessive bleeding.  That surgery took 1.5 hours.  I brought her home from the hospital (to her moms) saturday.  She's doing well, but is hurting (as to be expected).  Say a prayer for her if you would.

Country Blessings,
Jamie
