One Step Forward & Two Steps Back!

Well guys.. It's not been a good week for us. Judson started with a fever of 103.6 Wednesday night about 9:30 p.m. It just started out of the blue with no other signs of being sick. Daryl & I took him to Greenville Peds Thursday. The doctor said everything looked good, except his right ear was a little red. She explained it could be an infection starting or it could be a virus. She did give us an antibiotic just in case. We came home, fever still high unless we keep the tylenol & motrin in him around the clock. Last night he started throwing up. He did this twice. His fever went back up to 103.8. We then cleaned him up and gave him some Motrin and juice. I had to come back to work today. Daryl is home with today & he said he took his temp and it had come down to 99.4 and he was playing. I hope this virus is soon over. It seems he is fine during the day and the night time is the worst. We have had hardly no sleep in 2 days. It seems when we get one thing corrected, something else happens. Please say a prayer for Judson. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Fun With Ganny!

This past weekend Judson spent Saturday night with Ganny & Pop-Pop. Of course Pop-Pop had to work all weekend in the fields :(, so Pop-Pop was not able to get in on the fun that Judson and Ganny had together. He had so much fun in their pool. The only thing is, he requires you to WORK when you have him in there. He wants you to catch him from the ladder & throw him in the air. lol He has really never been in (deep) water until lately. He has only been in his little pool & the bath tub lol. He was a little afraid at first. With a little time he was relaxing and enjoying the (wa-wa) with Ganny.

He was soo HAPPY!

Yea! Judson kicking his feet!

Ganny trying to get him to tread some wa-wa!

I Want To Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday afternoon was busy for Daryl & I. I got off early to go help cut grass and round up everything. By that time I took a shower, it was time to pick up Judson. We came home and I decided that I would wash my truck. Judson started off in the truck, but he wanted to get in on the action. He didn't do a bad job for his first time.

Wetting his sponge!

Trying to get the bugs off for Mom!

Summer Fun In The SUN!

Judson had a fun filled weekend. Ganny & Pop-Pop surprised him with his tractor Sunday. Monday we had a play date with Mr. Trace and his Mom Brandi. We had fun in the pool & the slides. Judson loves to be with other kids. They play great together. But it's not enough for me to want another baby yet! lol

Washing his feet (I guess)

Tractor?????????????

Ganny called me Sunday morning to tell me that Pop-Pop & her had Judson a surprise. Ok.... So we packed up and headed over to Pleasant Hill. Of course Judson always goes to this side of the barn. He always wants to ride the lawn mower or the 4-wheeler. When he turned the corner, this is what we found.... He loves it. I think it is going to take some time getting used to, but he is surely trying. Thanks Pop-Pop & Ganny... We love you both.

Update on Plastic Caps!

I was talking with Valerie Barrett Pearce on the phone last night and she told me that (Flythe Bros.) in Conway were also collecting the Plastic bottle Caps. So this is another place you can turn your caps in. I figured it must be some (truth) to all of this. I don't think people would go through all this trouble to get a plastic cap. It really doesn't matter if it's for the Boy Scouts or whatever. If you can help someone that has cancer, that's all that matter's to me. Have a wonderful day and a great weekend......

We Need Your Help!

I received this e-mail from my Aunt Jerri. I would like to pass this on to my blogger buddies!


I need everyones help. I am asking that you, your family, and your place of employment start to collect bottle caps. It's so easy. The reason, every bottle cap collected will give one minute of FREE chemo to a child at CHKD. A program that is through The Boy Scouts of America and CHKD. An employee of Jernigan Oil Company (Ellen Jones) started me doing this. Put a gallon zip lock bag up in your house and drop them in, put a box out at your employment and have everyone drop them in. We all drink water, soft drinks, milk, orange juice, (any plastic bottle cap). Ellen has turned in enough caps so far for (165 hours) of free chemo hours. I am real proud of her. When you get any collected, call me and I will pick them up or simply drop them off at Jernigan Oil Company to Ellen. This will be going on to Dec. 31, 2009. Think how many caps we could collect by then. Remember........ONE CAP. ONE FREE MINUTE FOR A CHILD WITH CANCER. How can we not do something so simple? Pass this on to all of your contacts.

Thanks,
Jerri

************Note:
If you collect enough caps to turn in. You can turn in the caps to any (Duck Thru Food Store). I think there are enough Duck Thru's that a store is close enough to everyone. Please tell the store clerk to give them to Ms. Jerri Harrell, Michael Harrell or Ellen Jones at the home office. This way she could get them faster.

Thank you for your support in this matter. We never know when one of our children may need this (ONE FREE MINUTE OF CHEMO).
