A trip to the ER, followed by a 4 day hospital stay, he returned home, not much the worse for wear. His skin healed up from the IV needles pretty quick, but there was something he brought home from the hospital that didn't evaporate quite as quickly -- his TOUGHMAN phase. He'd walk around hitting, squashing, smashing and generally behaving like a little roughneck. I guess he just felt invincible after making it though being so sick that he could barely raise his head, and dealing with being treated like a pin-cushion while being forced to wear treatment masks on and off throughout the day. Anyway, after several pages for the old personality (and a couple of weeks) he settled down back into his old self. Has Caden returned to norm yet?

Mine are all so little that I can't fathom it... I'll pray for you guys. As for the spider, his natural predator would be a rat or a mouse. Too bad all of yours died not long ago... LOL! Okay, that was mean. I'm sorry. I feel for you. Man I'm glad we don't have any creepy crawlies bigger than a quarter out here.

I miss her, but she's with her two best friends, so I know she's having fun. I think it's harder for the parents than for the kids! Maybe you can send a care package. Our camp lets you buy them on the spot, and then pick the day you want them delivered. (Nice little business someone thought up.) I think your son will do great -- age 10 is the perfect age for camp!

Still working on that and will get back to you. Well I WAS coming to visit and then you mentioned that giant spider and now I’m considering how best to see you while never setting foot in your house.
