The pictures today tell a lot of the story.  Yesterday Ben sat in Amanda’s lap at the doctor’s office drinking a barium banana shake just before his IV and CT scan.  He was running a high fever, and had so much abdominal pain he could hardly be held.

Today his fever is under control, as is his pain.  He has earned some rewards for his bravery too.  He got a Batman costume and as soon as he is well enough to go to the toy store he will get the Bat Cave too.  

But I learned a lot, not through this whole experience, but tonight as I have been with him, I mean Batman.  For instance, did you know that Batman will not walk by a dormant wasp on the wall of the main staircase?  Neither did I!  But the surprising thing is that he will take the back stairs in order to come down and step on (kill) a pretty big spider.  I am not sure what that means, but I found it interesting.  And I am sure that poor spider knew it was over when he saw the caped crusader round the corner.  At least we are safe from him.

But the bottom line is that we are still watching him closely as he is still a sick little guy.  The blessing is that he didn’t require an operation.  We are thankful for that.

I however have scheduled myself home again tomorrow and will either be a nurse for the day or Alfred the butler.  Either way I do not mind.  He is so much better than he was.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
