More Medicine

Tests yesterday triggered new medicines today. Brenan was given another antibiotic and an antifungal medication today to fight what may be either pneumonia or valley fever which could be the cause of his continuous fever. Today was a sleepy, restful day and Mom helped Brenan relax with massages and helped him do a few leg exercises. The antifungal is a pretty harsh medicine so they had to pretreat him with Benadryl and other medicines. He continues to have a rash on most of his body but luckily it doesn't itch and doesn't seem to bother him.

Hi Brenan and Jess,
We got your card yesterday........nice.
The ice finally went off of the lake on Monday (April 20th!!!). In past years it has been gone no later than April 15th.
Today we went for a pontoon ride and saw a pair of loons gathering grass for their nest. The loons seem to be quite smart I thought, they laid each blade of grass on their back until they had a 'load' to take back to the nest.
The temps have been fairly nice since we returned home, and we have most of our spring yard work done, ...now, we just need spring rains to green up the grass.
The level of the lake has gone up about 6 vertical inches over the winter Dave thinks.
The neighbors all say it was a very bitter winter here..... 40 below even!! Didn't miss it a bit...
Love to you......Audrey & Dave

Hello everyone ~ same old, same old happening here. Working, working and more working. Jacob was asked to escort a Senior to prom this weekend and we are busy trying to make it all happen. He's pretty nervous and very excited all bundled into one. I told him it was time to brush up on all the manners he learned at FFA for special events. It sure is fun watching him grow into such a wonderful young man. We'll send photos on Saturday, keep watching your phones. Love from Waterville.
