Pneumonia

Titus has pneumonia in his left lung. After taking a chest x-ray yesterday, this was the diagnosis. His fever still comes and goes. He will wake up and play for a little while, and then conk back out. He's not coughing, and doesn't have a lot of secretions (which is good), and he's been keeping his SATs up pretty well, but we are monitoring him closely. He started on an antibiotic last night.

Tucker and Cade have had swim lessons this week. They are so excited since they have now learned to swim under water. (ok, they at least "think" they are swimming under water).

Aidan and Noah have swim team practice most days. They enjoy practice, they just don't want to compete (go figure). It's incredible the stamina and focus they have developed. There are times Noah will dive off the blocks and his goggles will come off, and yet, although distracting, he doesn't stop to fix them, doesn't slow down, but maintains his focus on completing the sprint. What an incredible lesson in life he's learning - stay the course, run the race, and to not let the little things drag you down.

Prayers for you all. Brent had pneumonia a few months ago and it was awful. Our kids had swim lessons too this past week and love diving under water now to retrieve pool sticks!
