Bennett slept in today since they didn’t have school. And he didn’t have a blood test. We will check counts next Monday, hopefully they will stay good so we can keep on a bi-weekly schedule.

Bennett finished his last dose of steroids Saturday. He indicated his bones feel sore and thinks it’s from the steroids.

Sid’s cold and cough are the same. He still doesn’t feel good. His x-rays shows he has mild case of pleurisy. He has been on an antibiotic for several days and will continue. I have managed to start coughing and have a sore throat for most of the weekend. I started an antibiotic Saturday so hopefully it won’t turn into anything. So far, Hamilton doesn’t have it.

Hamilton had a future Rangers basketball game tonight and they won. Bennett was able to go and kept the score board.

Bennett had basketball practice today for couple hours. He has three games this week. Tomorrow night we play in Herrin, Wednesday in DuQuoin and Thursday is his last home game. We pray that he continues to feel better and gains his strength back. He had been lifting weights but hasn’t the last couple of days because of being so tired.

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8
