What We've Been Up To...

Lainey's on a mission to convince her dad to get a bunny. She's written a persuasive letter, composed a pros and cons list, and created a photo gallery. She really wants a bunny.

Reagan. Missing her dad.

Lainey also ran for Student Council Representative for her classroom. Unfortunately, she didn't win, but she got selected for the "Green Team" at school. This is the school's recycling team. She is on this team with all of her friends; she's very happy and excited to help. :)

Someone named "Dr. Recess" came to the kids' school and taught the kids how to play a variety of games at recess. Lainey was picked as a participant for one of the demonstrations.

Walker was selected as a participant, too! So proud of him for being brave.

As many of you know, Ben was admitted to the Neuro ICU at Medical City Plano two weeks ago (on September 2nd) after being care-flighted to Plano from Vernon, TX. He has transverse myelitis caused by the West Nile Virus. The virus basically attacked his spinal column, causing a very high fever and partial paralysis. He has since been diagnosed with Lyme Disease (that could be a false positive), received three pints of blood, and endured countless doses of drugs. Some have been helpful, others have resulted in some nasty side effects. Thank you to EVERYONE for praying for us and supporting us during this difficult time; we are thankful for every single positive thought and uplifted prayer. We are truly humbled and grateful...thank you, friends! :)
