Things have finally quieted down. Hopefully. The big boys had their last football game last weekend. John's team ended up 3 and 2, while Noah's team was undefeated 5 and 0.
John was not able to play his last game. At the Weeping Water game the week before, he looked horrible. He was sick with a sore throat and cough, and looked like he barely had enough energy to run on the field. I told him that morning that he needed to go to the Dr., but he insisted that he needed to play. After the game he went home and he did not move much from the couch. His dad was sick too, so on Monday they both stayed home from work and school and went to the Dr. Randy's was first. They said he had some type of micro virus that had turned into bronchitis. John's appointment was the shocker. Mono. And all he could take was Ibuprofen. So he was out of school for a week, but is feeling much better now. His two weeks of no contact sports will be up on Monday, and he is eager to actually practice basketball with his team.
Mono did not stop John from participating in the Omaha Buddy Walk last weekend. It was a beautiful and warm day. The walk was held at UNO, and it was a nice venue. Even with all the people, it was easy to find friends that we knew. I was able to pick up the book The Little King and his Marshmallow Kingdom and meet the author Louis Rotella III. He signed the book for Ben. I think it is one we will enjoy reading over and over.
