Michael

Well - Michael has had a bit of a rough week.  Friday before Memorial Day, he had a fever in the night.  He was fine Sat/Sunday.  However, Memorial Day Monday, he woke up from his nap with a 102 fever, green stuff out of his nose, and a cough.

We couldn't get him into the dr until Wednesday because we had a water heater coming Tuesday and Brian's car was in the shop that same day so he had my car at work.

It was an expensive Tuesday.

Wednesday - Michael was diagnosed with pneumonia.  :(  Poor little guy!  He was given 5 days of antibiotics (kids' equivalent of a z-pack) and lots of breathing treatments.

Today, he is feeling better and finished his antibiotics/breathing treatments yesterday.  I am still worried about his cough because it is still pleghmy, but it is starting to sound like it's loosening things up occasionally.

We have a followup on Wednesday and the Dr will tell us more about what's going on.  I am praying for healing of his little chest!

Then, yesterday, he got pegged in the face by a baseball thrown from his Dad.

Le Sigh.

However, he finally got to go to school this morning!  I received some pretty awesome things from the school at the end of the year.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michael's school this year.  The teachers are so warm and welcoming.  Michael has learned so much and truly enjoyed going to school.

They sent home a great scrapbook of his activities this year - I will post some pictures of some of the pages.

But I what I was most proud of was his progress report.  Not only did he master all the skills of the year (and them some) - but he had this comment from his teachers:

"Michael had a great year!  He has such a desire to learn that he is a joy to teach.  Michael gives every activity his best effort.  We will miss him."

That's all I can ask from our little guy.  I am elated that he loves to learn because I hope that will intrinsically motivate him.  That in combination with giving his best effort is all I can ask for in school!

Pictures to come later.  There's some really cute stuff from his scrapbook.
