The Doctor is in?????

The past couple of days have not been very good to a certain little 3 1/2 year old in our house. Christopher came down with a fever on Sunday afternoon and we didn't know why. We gave him some Motrin to bring the fever down which made his little tummy upset. Jennifer took him to the doctor yesterday morning and found out that he had a double ear infection, which had not totally cleared up with since last month when he had a double ear infection. So we got him some Tylenol and an antibiotic and he pretty much slept all day yesterday. This morning he got up and seemed to be feeling better. Ear infections are terrible.

Now, here is the "good" part, wait for it.......

We originally took Christopher to the Doctor because a little girl is his class had strep, so we thought maybe he had it when he came down with a fever last month. The doctor did a swab and found no strep, but would send it off to the lab just in case and call us if it came back positive. We hadn't heard from the doctor so we "assumed" that everything was OK..... not so much. We found out yesterday when we took him to the doctor that he did indeed have strep and no one told us. Someone in that Doctors office really dropped the ball and made us quite upset, especially my beautiful wife, because Christopher is definitely Mommy's boy.

The moral is to make sure that you follow up with the doctors on everything when it comes to our children's health. Thank God that it wasn't something worse that they didn't tell us about.

Quote of the Day

The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.'
Aaron Copland (1900 - 1990)


Music fills our lives everday. Gives thanks to God that you can hear it.

What Goes Around, Comes Around

When I was in High School, I got the chance to play Daddy Warbucks in our schools production of "Annie." And I had the opportunity to be in the show again 6 years later in Decatur. And now.... I am producing the show at Gateway Academy, where I am the Director of Music and Drama.

I have to tell you that I was really sceptical about doing this show again, but it has been a lot of fun so far. I have a really great cast, supportive parents, and kids who are really excited about the production. I thought that I would be starting to get sick of it, but not so much yet. Today we blocked the song "N,Y,C" and it looks really good. Although I could use some help from friend Happi in Chicago. :)

Anyway.... If you are in the St. Louis area, come see the show April 20, 21, and 22. As the title suggests, what goes around does indeed come back around.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Presidents Day

Yesterday, Christopher and Daddy had off school so we spent the day together. We honored our presidents by seeing the movie "Night at the Museum." Christopher has an enthusiastic love of Dinosaurs so as soon as he saw the trailer, "Daddy can we go see the T-rex with all the bones?" How can I say no to that. The movie was very good. Not only funny, but also a heart tugger. Go see it if you want a laugh out loud experience. Christopher and Daddy loved it. Have a great day and say a prayer for your friends and family.
