What a Week!


We had quite the week last week with Blake's mishaps and accomplishments. The week started out with Blake spending the night in the hospital due to asthma complications that arose during the week. I have to admit it was the first time in a LONG time Blake has had any issues with his asthma. The shot therapy has been going great and his body seems to responding well, for the most part. You're never really "out of the woods" with any type of therapy, it's just a preventative and will help with the severity of things when an attack does occur. I'm so thankful for Blake's treatments, and know that if they hadn't been in place, our stay at the hospital that night might have been a lot longer.
Then, Tuesday morning I dropped Blake off at school. All was well and he was excited and ready for a new day. When I arrived at the school a few hours later, Blake had tripped outside and crashed his head into the cement. OUCH! He's response when he saw me was, "Don't worry mom, I just had a bit of an accident." " It doesn't even hurt!" I couldn't believe it. It was like one thing after another. As the week went on it continued to get black and blue and the scabbing was rather unattractive, but I'm happy to report it's looking much better this week.
The day after his "head crash", was Blake's school Music program. The kids had worked so hard and it was a great program to watch.

This is Blake with his teacher, Miss Kirkland after the music program. She's GREAT and Blake has really been enjoying her classroom this year. Not to mention, the kids LOVE Her!
This is a clip of one of the songs they sang. Blake really likes this one! (So did the boy standing behind him in red.) You'll have to of course mute the music on the side bar to hear.
We then finished off the week Thursday with the Blue & Gold Banquet. Blake earned is Wolf badge and is excited to move on in scouting. We're so proud of him and all the hard work he put in to earn his Wolf. Way to go Blake!


I'm happy to report we are nearing the end of the next week and things are going well. Our week has felt rather normal. Busy of course, but nothing out of the norm. No crazy crashing heads stories to report, along with unexpected trips to the hospital. Here's to many more week's like this one! :)
