First, I should update everyone on Jon's mom in case you aren't on Jon's Facebook. One week ago, Colleen went to the hospital because she had been coughing blood (this has been going on for several months, and the doctors couldn't figure out the cause; last week was worse than usual). They admitted her to the cardiac ICU, where she spent 5 days while they ran tests and tried to figure out what was wrong. They identified the issue (a fungal infection in her lungs caused by one of a possible 200 molds), began treating that, and continued monitoring her. While they did find a possible thyroid issue, they still were able to release Colleen from ICU to a regular room on Wednesday, and then they released her from the hospital to go home on Thursday. I haven't seen her since she went home, but in the hospital she did look stronger and better each day. We're all praying the medication for the infection does the trick and she'll be fully healed!
Today is Nate's last day of school at La Tierra. I'm excited to say he's finished with special ed forever! :)
He will go for two weeks of Living Word's Monday-Wednesday-Friday summer session beginning next week. I think it'll be good for him to meet the teachers and be with some of the other kids before starting "real" school on August 30.
The kids and I had a fun day playing with friends yesterday. They were entertained for a long time with a kiddie pool in a back yard and homemade ice cream sandwiches. I love summer!
