Bennett got up bright and early to go duck hunting in Shelbyville with Bob, Scott, and Mason. They left home around 3:15 a.m. Bennett had a good time! Bennett and Mason got 2 ducks and 2 coots between the two of them. Bennett said that Scott cooked some awesome bacon and egg sandwiches too. Below is a pic of Bennett and Mason holding their ducks.

Bennett came home and went to bed of course. When I got home around dinner time from taking my Dad and Mom to see my uncle in ICU in the St. Louis hospital, Bennett asked me to take his temperature. His temp was 100.7. He said his stomach bothered him this morning and that his nose feels stuffy. Yesterday afternoon he said his throat felt really dry but it wasn’t sore.

So now I am just about sick. So worried that his temperature is going to go up and he will have to be admitted to the hospital. We are hoping of course that it doesn’t turn into anything serious and maybe it’s just a cold that will go away soon. It’s disappointing that maybe he won’t feel very well to go on the New Orleans trip.

We are sorry to find out his friend Ryan won’t be going so who knows, they may both have to go another time. I will be taking his temp through out the night to make sure it doesn’t spike up too high.

Please pray that his fever doesn’t go up and that he will start feeling better. We go in the morning at our local hospital to check counts. We pray that this cold and low grade fever hasn’t dropped them. His Dr. appt is Tuesday in St. Louis and Wednesday is when he is supposed to fly out to New Orleans.

My Uncle still needs our prayers. He is breathing some now on his own but has a long ways to go.
