Sarah is in the hospital

Update on Sarah

Last night Sarah woke up with a swollen face. It was about 1am. Juergen called the Dr, and he was told to go right to the hospital. He waited with Sarah over 2 hours. At about 3:30am I finally got the news. They would check her into the children’s hospital and begin an IV antibiotic. They didn’t know what it was, but she also had a high fever. Sarah was 100% fine when she went to bed. It was a shock to see her face swollen like she had large oranges stuffed into each cheek!
Juergen stayed at the hospital with her. Today the Dr’s will run tests. It could be mumps, but it’s probably not that. She slept well. She is happy. I spoke with her on the phone. It is an adventure to her. The fever is down. The cheeks are still swollen. I guess she will be in the hospital 2 days, but it looks like she is very stable. I don’t know if it is Mumps, a spider bite, an allergy? I guess we will maybe find out today. But she seems to be safe, and I’m sure she will be OK.
Today is my 20th wedding Anniversary. We had plans to eat breakfast out, and walk in a palace garden. We were also going out to dinner. Juergen gave me beautiful flowers last night. Those plans are not canceled, just put on hold for another day. I married an extraordinary man. He is more then everything I could have ever hoped for. I’m sorry he is spending this day in the hospital, but so glad we will be there together.

Good news that the fever is down. Also glad that Sarah is in a positive mood, not afraid. Please let us know what is going on when you do find out.

Happy 20th anniversary to you and Juergen. Your plans for the day sound wonderful. But it is the thought that counts. We love you. Mom & Dad

"Tomorrow morning, if you wake up and the sun doesn't seem to shine, I will be there..." Seems as if Juergen has always kept that promise!
Congratulations. My prayers are there for my sweet Sarah. Please give her hugs from her God Pappa.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...
