Bennett is doing good. His ankle just bothered him once today so he took some pain medicine. He took the big bandage off it tonight.  It has the steri strips on it so you can’t really tell how it looks for sure.  It looks a little swollen around it.

His color looks Great!  His rosy cheeks sure brightens up his face. He thinks it is from the steroids he is taking. I think it’s from the blood he got yesterday.  He also might of gotten some sun today on his face. He went fishing this morning with Grandma J.  He only had 15 crickets to use.  He caught 9 really nice size blue gill and than threw back a couple small ones.

He weighed 121 pounds yesterday. I am glad he didn’t lose any but he sure hasn’t gained any either while on the maintenance phase.

He went to Hamilton’s baseball game tonight and kept the score book.  It was a close game and Bennett really cheered on the boys and giving them words of encouragement.   This reminds me of yesterday after Bennett’s surgery, he told the Dr. and the nurse that they did a good job.

Bennett leaves in the morning at 7a.m. to go to McKendree College basketball camp with the 8th grade basketball team.  Of course, he can’t play but he is going to go watch plus hopefully have fun hanging out with friends.  He won’t be home until Saturday.  It’s going to be tough being away from him and not to worry.  It will be good for him to go and be with friends which is important.

We had a scare today, Grandpa Page fell and broke his ankle in 3 different places.  Hamilton was at the house with him.  He had to go to the emergency room and is in the Herrin hospital. He will have surgery on it sometime.  We pray that he isn’t in too much pain and gets well soon.
