The Puddles

It has been a busy but laid back day for Ben. No blood draws. No tests. We are just watching and seeing. Will his fever come back? Will his kidneys behave? We don’t have all of the results yet. 

But we had lots of visitors.  Mrs. Vaughn (his elementary school librarian) Mrs. Horton (his first grade teacher), and Mrs. Alman (his fourth grade teacher) came for a visit. I haven’t seen Ben that animated and talkative in a month. I only had to ask him to lower his voice five times while he was talking. He was just that excited. 

Later Ms. Diana came to visit, then daddy joined her. They were heading out on a walk to get some steps in when I left to go see Ainsley. 

I have no idea what the night will bring. He is really worried. We talked tonight about his fear of never getting to go home. He felt like he was bound to get sick because that was his luck lately.  We prayed together before bed. He is sleeping peacefully now. 

We will find out in the morning if he runs a fever tonight and what his blood work will say.  So I continue to pray. God has already answered our prayers by making Ben feel better. Now we pray that this current course of treatment is helpful and will help Ben get home.
