We had
breakfast with Karen and Orrie, and Dorothy and Bob. Dorothy had returned from the Mayo clinic with a bad report. She has breast cancer. We visited for a long time about it. It sounds like she has some areas that will be removed and then Radiation. During
breakfast, Jacob didn’t want to eat much. He wasn't complaining and it took
awhile to get what was wrong out of him. Finally he told me his throat hurt.
One look in his throat with his super enlarged tonsil, I knew it was
strep. Within a couple hours, I had him to the doctor, diagnosed, and got his
antibiotics. Strep again, and Jayden just got over it. We got to the doctor early
enough that Jake didn’t have to go through the pain and misery Jayden did. In
fact, he got Mcdonald’s hamburger and fries for lunch. Mark stayed home with
Jake while the rest of us went to the benefit for Emma Kiefer. Emma is the
daughter of our elementary school secretary. She took such good care of Luke
when he hit his head at school and got a giant goose egg. She is very kind and
well liked. Her daughter, a senior was hit in a car accident with multiple
injuries. She has head trauma and has been in an induced coma. Tonight was a
benefit dinner and auction. Life flight landed and took off as part of the evening. We got there as it
was leaving. It was freezing out, 10 degrees for the high of the day and at
night it was 1. The benefit had an amazing turn out. So many people, tables
full, huge lines and people wrapped around. Auction items went for high dollar amounts.
I think it will really help the family out. Mrs. K came up and gave us a hug
and told us how much she appreciated the Ronald McDonlad gifts. We stayed an
hour and headed home.
Funny and sad.
Dusty dog was put down and buried with the pony Dakota. Somewhere in the
explanation, Jake heard,” We buried Dusty in North Dakota", instead of with Dakota. So, a few days
later Luke’s Beta fish died. I was ok with flushing the dead fish, but he
insisted that it needed to be buried by Dusty. Jake looked in confusion and
said,”You’re going to let Luke bury his fish in North Dakota.” Too funny. Then,
Jayden decided she would help Luke bury his fish on a very freezing cold day.
He had his fish in a small cup of water. In walking out to the dirt site, the
fish froze in the cup. Jayden thought she would just bury the whole cup,
however the ground was so cold and hard she could not get a hole deep enough.
In the process of getting the fish out, it broke in half due to it being a
block of ice. Oh my, that made me laugh and someday Luke will laugh when he reads
this.
