Back on Antibiotics

Well...we made it exactly one month without antibiotics. Sam has another sinus infection (we think) so we are treating it with hope that his irritability and headaches will improve! He is cutting a few teeth which has also created a lot of discomfort for him. Those of you who see him often know that he has been missing a tooth on the bottom middle of his mouth for over two years. Not anymore! He has cut his first big boy tooth and I can hardly believe it! He has grown so much this year that I almost wish capris were the new style for boys! He is also close to 50lbs. In addition to prayers for Sam and our family, we have a few prayer requests. Please keep Jeff's aunt Sue in your prayers as she begins a new round of chemotherapy and for her family as they go through this painful process with her. www.caringbridge.org/visit/suehorstmeyer Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful comments, support and prayers!

The finished project!
















We are enjoying Sam's new room so much! Grammy and Grandpa Horstmeyer worked hard to get it all finished up and we greatly appreciate all of their hard work! The raised tub is wonderful and making lifting much easier! We are planning on getting a mobile lifter www.surehands.com/mobiles_us.html#zestien in the future to do the lifting out of the tub for us. Grandma Donna is busy making new pillow cases and curtains to match Sam's dinosaur themed suite! Grandpa John has been supervising the project and staying busy at work. We thought he and mom retired at the end of January, but he hasn't stopped working yet!!! In the pics you can see Sam's swing in his room. Jeff and Larry put a header in the ceiling so we can have it upstairs. It is wonderful to have everything Sam needs all on one level. We are richly blessed by all of the wonderful talents our parents share with us!
