My blogging hiatus is over and I can hardly believe it's mid May. This last semester has flown by and there are only 10 days left of school. Over the last month our family has been really busy with sports, homework and end of the year craziness! Hard to believe, but this weekend is Justin's 8th grade graduation dance. He got his first suit and is excited to go with his friends although dreading the fact that I will be there as a chaperone :)
The other thing that has kept us busy is trips to the hospital to be with Bob's mom, Barbara. She spent the last two weeks of April in the hospital after having a heart attack. She had a stint put in and artery and they discovered that one of the valves of her heart wasn't working properly. During her stay her health greatly deteriorated to the point that she was on a dialysis for kidney failure, oxygen for breathing problems and had a contracted a staph infection of the blood. She was released from the hospital for a week while she continued iv antibiotics and dialysis in hopes of getting strong enough for valve replacement surgery. Unfortunately her heart could not manage with the faulty valve so she was re-admitted over the weekend and had the surgery Monday. She survived what was a very risky surgery but still has a long recovery. Her kidney are still not functioning and she is having a hard time being weaned off the respirator. Prayers for her recovery are welcomed!
At school, I am gearing up to teach summer school. It's an enrichment class about the book Twilight and I am really looking forward to it. We are also hoping to spend some weekends at the Lake with the family. Adam is going camping with his Cub Scout troop and Hannah is playing lots of softball. Justin will be gearing up for football camp, and two a day football practice starting in August. He will also be taking a summer class called Freshmen Success that introduces the kids to high school and all the responsibilities that go along with it. So it will be a busy summer but hopefully an enjoyable one. I plan to blog more frequently as soon as the school year ends. I will hopefully have some good pictures of Justin in his new suit to post over the weekend.
It's 10:15 and I should be teaching, fortunately for me this is a great class!
