April 21st update
Bennett had a great day at school! He said it went well. He feels good about all of his classes and in some classes he is ahead in his work. This is good for him so he doesn’t get all stressed out over being in school and than loads of work on top of it.
He had baseball practice this afternoon. It went well. He did good. I thought he hit the ball great. He didn’t agree though, I guess he wants to do better. I can tell an improvement from just last week. He said tonight that he lost his balance, strength, and muscle this past year but he was going to gain it all back. He has been lifting weights each night before bed.
After his practice, we went to Hamilton’s baseball practice. Bennett worked with a few of the boys hitting grounders to them. I thought he would be too tired and ready to go home but he wanted too. We are very thankful that Bennett made it all day at school and to practice. He has come along way in just a few weeks.
His legs are really sore and we are thinking this is from all the running he did at Friday night’s practice. I reminded him that we need to gradually work up to running. After putting it all into perspective, he basically went from being in bed to playing baseball out on the field in the matter of weeks. We are so proud of him!
We always remember our friends from SLCH. Please pray for all the special people that are suffering from cancer especially the precious children.
WoW! What great news. Glad you didn’t find school overwhelming. Take your Mom’s advice and pace yourslef. You don’t want to over do it. We all pray for a “normal” summer for you.
