Well 3 or 4 weeks ago Belle decided it would be good idea to see if a popcorn kernel would fit in her nose, and it did. Fit perfectly. As I was getting ready to take her to the doctor, she managed to get it out. So the "emergency" was avoided with lots of talk about how we don't put ANYTHING in our nose. Guess I should have went over mouths too, but I'll save that for later.
The next week John and I were in our bedroom when we got a knock at the door. It was Belle. "There's an emergency!"..... "What is it?" This question is usually followed by something like "Can you put my dolls clothes on?" or "I'm thirsty" but this day Belle said "Um..there's smoke in the house" Well John and I both felt like this might need our attention, so we got up and came in the living room, and sure enough there was smoke. She had put a box and blanket over a light bulb. We got everything put out, and avoided having a bonfire in the middle of the living room. :)
So that's enough excitement for most, but not us Scherer's!! This last Sunday Belle swallowed a dime. Which did need a trip to the ER! Everything was fine and she passed the coin Tuesday morning. :)
John and I had some kind of flu this week. John got it Friday through Monday, and I had it Sunday night through Wednesday. We are feeling much better! Lily and Belle seem to be a little off, but so far nothing drastic! We are just trying to get the house straight from days of us being in bed and letting the kids raise themselves!
I don't get sick much, I mean really sick where I have to be in bed. When I do I am always reminded of others who are really sick. People who live with horrible diseases and pain on a daily basis. I think God that he has preserved my health and the health of my family. Let us not forget how valuable our health really is and strive to take care of our bodies. Also lets remember those who are sick and in need. Maybe a card or a meal, definetly a prayer lifted on their behalf.
"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers of mine, you did for Me."Matthew 25:40
