update

Update from my prayer requests:

Thanks for your prayers!

My mother is still in the hospital. Her doctor told her she had a swollen gland. They have been giving her IV antibiotics since Monday. The swelling has gone down. There was some talk about a biopsy but then it didn't happen. No explanation was given as to what caused the infection. I think she's expecting to be discharged today.

Sammy did OK with the dental work. He didn't even flinch when they gave him the numbing shot, but he screamed every time they put the vacuum tube in his mouth. He got his 3 year molars sealed, some of the rough enamel polished off the top of his front two top teeth, and a cap on the molar that broke 1/2 off in June.
