Benjamin this pm

Benjamin has gotten some much needed rest this afternoon/evening. He slept for about an hour and a half after sitting in a chair for a half hour this afternoon. Now he's been asleep for over 2 hours. They switched him to Tylenol with codeine so I think it really knocked him out. He has had lots of water and apple juice today so he is much happier with that than yesterday. Going without water for him is one of the worst things ever. You should see him down a cup of water on a regular day. Maybe tomorrow he'll actually get a little food. Each day brings some progress so that's a good thing. Sounds like the big kids are doing well. They have Grandma and Grandpa running in circles. Grandpa drove 30 miles in a circle yesterday between dropping off for soccer and chess. Tomorrow Emma has a soccer game and then Alex has a piano music theory test. He's been working hard getting ready for months. Even better, he's going to an all day state chess tournament on Sunday. 5 rounds of chess in one day. Go, Alex!
