Bonjour,

I seem to be over the stomach virus, but I still wasn’t feeling very well this morning.  Joe rode to church with the Litsons.  I got very dizzy and almost fainted.  I called Joe, and he came back home.  I think I was just low on protein since I didn’t eat much yesterday due to the stomach virus.  Joe boiled some eggs for me.  I ate those and felt a little better.  I went back to bed, and Joe took the boys to church for the church service.  I slept until they got home and am feeling a little better.  Joe called the doctor, and she said that she will see me tomorrow.

Joe and Gilbert went to church tonight, and Danny stayed home with me.  After they got home, we called Cole, one of my brother-in-laws, for his birthday.  Danny told him, “Happy Birthday.”  Danny was also trying to sing along with Gilbert.  A little bit later, Danny came to me holding a cup saying, “Mama, mama!”  Gilbert said, “He wants Coke, Mommy.”  Then, Danny said, “I want Coke!”  Last night, Danny told Joe, “I want brownies.”  He continues to say things out of the blue like that.  But, if we try to get him to say it again, he just smiles at us.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
