Soccer

On Friday we found Ben some "shin guards" for his first soccer game the next day. It took a lot of persuasion but we finally got him to try them on. We had to really "pump him up" before he felt comfortable wearing them. Finally he thought it was funny when Jake would kick him and "it didn't hurt."

Look at how cute those little legs are!

HOWEVER, I knew something was wrong Friday night when Ben didn't get off the couch. He felt warm but no temperature. Saturday morning before his "big" soccer game he had "dry heaves" and had a temperature. He didn't get off of the couch until about 3:30. Ben came in and asked if it was time to go to his game (not realizing he already missed it). We had very big alligator tears when he found out they had already played this morning. I knew he was feeling better when he and Jacob started wrestling but it didn't take long for him to get back on the couch.

Ben felt better this morning but by the time we got out of church he said his eyes were tired. He willingly took a nap this afternoon. He was doing better but before bed I noticed he was feeling warm again and his temp was over 100 degrees. He is still on antibiotics and I am not really sure what is the "latest bug" going around school.

We could certainly use some prayers that Ben gets well and stays well so he can get his tonsillectomy on 3/17!
