Our weekend

As mentioned in a previous post, my husband and I got to see "Fireproof" on Friday. We enjoyed it so much and we're still talking about it today! Saturday my aunt came and later my cousin arrived. In the afternoon we headed to the Light the Night Walk. This is our third year to participate. This year we walked on a path around a pond. It was very nice and a special way to remember Peepaw. The evening was perfect for a walk. All of the walkers have a lighted balloon...white is for survivors and red is for supporters. This year they added a gold balloon. Each family could carry one in memory of someone. Sunday we had a pretty normal day with church activities.

Over the weekend Caleb had an upset stomach. It started on Thursday morning. He made several trips to the bathroom. I called the doctor Friday and she said if he has any new symptoms to bring him in to the office. Saturday as we were just leaving he told Daddy he was driving too fast and it was making his tummy hurt. He was okay at the walk. Sunday morning after church he went to eat lunch with Gramma and called us because his tummy was hurting again. We went to meet them. As we were going over I had an idea. Every time he got an upset stomach, he had had apple juice to drink prior to it. I had purchased a new brand of apple juice that we'd never tried. Sunday I realized this is something new and may be the cause of the problem. He has had apple juice of a variety of brands for many years but never this brand. When we got home, my husband smelled it and thought it smelled funny. We have not given him anymore and guess what....no more tummy trouble! I'm calling the company tomorrow to tell them. I wonder if it is a bad bottle or something.

Good thinking Or god thinking to trace it to that juice. I hope he is better. People dont realize how much we are effected by the things we come in contact with every day. We feel bad and we seldom connect the dots.
I just wanted to say thanks for praying. To be more spacific we are praying about full time ministry. Seems we arent getting any younger. I guess it is time to take a big boy step in that direction and ssee what God says.

I am so glad you were able to catch the problem before it got too serious with Caleb. I am happy to hear that Caleb is feeling much better. Sounds like your weekend was busy but least everything turned out to be OK at the end.
God Bless,
Heather

That apple juice does sound like the culprit. I hope you saved the rest of it - the company might want to check it out.

That Walk sounds wonderful. Who sponsors it?

Hugs.

Bethany,

Praise the Lord you caught it in time! And I would definitely call to make sure you don't have a bad batch of something and there's more out there.

Hope Caleb is feeling better. ((hugs)) to you both today!
