Well, Courtlyn is all better and we are at the middle school band festival. Just wanted to brag and tell everyone that The kids had to audition last night to be placed in one of 8 bands. There are several hundred kids here. Courtlyn (who plays clarinet) made the HONOR BAND at MidFest. So out of over 100 clarinets, she placed 17th in her audition. YIPEEEEEEE! Jared also did well and made FIRST CHAIR in saxophone for the band he made. I'm so EXCITED for them. They are having a blast.
Their whole school will be performing tonight as one of the guest performance bands, so that is also exciting. What a great way to end a week of illness at our house!
I have known about this since Sophomore year at least, I know I am freaking out for nothing but just the thought of presenting is making me really anxious
Courtlyn is finally better. After a brief passing out episode yesterday morning, she started feeling better throughout the day and went back to school this morning. Thanks for your prayers.
Now we are off to the University of Georgia for the Middle School Band Festival. I will be going as one of the chaperones for 19 7th & 8th graders. We will be driving our personal vehicles with the kids in this nasty weather, leaving at 2:30 today and returning Saturday night. Patrick and John will come up Saturday afternoon to watch all the concerts the kids will be performing in. Please pray for our safe travels and . . .
Could everyone please send up a quick prayer for Courtlyn. She has been sick for about a week and doesn't seem to be getting better. She missed 2 days of school last week. She went in yesterday, but was miserable. She tested negative for strep and the flu last week, but whatever she has seems to be getting worse. She is supposed to attend a big band festival at the University of Georgia Thursday through Saturday. She has been looking forward to getting selected for this trip for nearly 2 years and I just want her to get well so she can go. We will be going to the dr. again sometime today. Please remember her in your prayers.
We went back to the Dr. She still did not test positive for strep or mono; however, she now has pink-eye, an ear infection, and congestion, extreme sore throat and anything else that can go with a viral respiratory infection! YUCK!. She's on about 4 different medicines, and hopefully will feel better by Thursday morning. KEEP PRAYING FOR HER!
Hey Everyone. Courtlyn is selling beautiful poinsettias just in time for Christmas. This is to help her raise money for her 8th grade band trip to Disney World in the spring. There are a variety of poinsettias which come from Southland Greenhouses and they are beautiful and a good price - just $10.00. They will be delivered the weekend of December 6.
Yes, SFC is the one my dad has been wanting to see. It's $20 on Wed afternoon before T-giving, so we might go see that one. Otherwise it'll be $30 and the whole family probably doesn't want to pay for that.
