Prayer for Dr.Compton

Poor Ben has been studying for Step 3 of Boards in the small amount of free time he has after work... he is a genius, so I know he will do well - but its a REALLY expensive test, and he wants to make sure he gets it right the first time... Campbell and I took a long overdue trip to Mobile this weekend for baby Davis's baptism - and to meet him for the first time! (I'll post pics soon) It also gave Ben some peace and quiet to study... his test is Tuesday and Wednesday - please pray for him these next few days.

Hope you all enjoy your Monday - I'm off to take a nap... Campbell has had lots of EARLY mornings lately due to some new teeth, and my first out of town trip without Ben was fun, but tiring!

Campbell Update

Poor little Campbell had a rough week last week... she has had a cold for about 3 weeks, and finally got an antibiotic. It didn't seem to be helping, then last week she spiked a temp of 104. She has never had a fever, so I was frantic of course. Dr. Dad calmed me down, and we got it down to 101 before bed, but she kept the temp for several days. When we went to the doctor, everything looked okay - except her white blood cell count. They wanted to start doing some test, and the worrier in me had ridiculous things like cancer flashing through my mind... They had to prick her finger, draw blood, giver her 2 bad antibiotic shots, and since they couldn't get a urine sample - cath her twice. Needless to say, it tortured me to watch them do all this. Thankfully, her temp eventually came down - and she is back to her normal self. Who knows what it was... but Campbell is never sick, so this was a scare.

On a lighter note, she is getting more and more verbal - and closer to walking. She loves to say hi and bye while waving frantically - to anyone that will notice. This is really funny when we are in public... she never meets a stranger and is now best friends with all the check out ladies and greeters at Wal Mart, the waitresses at our favorite restaurants, etc. She is quite a people person! My mom got her some "big girl shoes" with hard soles, and she actually stood by herself for a little bit. She still only walks when she can hold onto something, but she is getting a little more brave each day - hopefully I will be chasing her soon! (remind me I said that :) )

We also had her first professional pictures taken... and they are beautiful! The photographer (and model!) were great - I don't know how we will choose! You can see her pictures at http://www.heatherswannerphotography.com/OnlineViewing. Scroll down to Katie Compton, click Enter Gallery, then use campbell for the password.
I'll post some pictures soon...
