Hammar Health

We'll start with the good news!
Levi went in to the doctor for his two month check up yesterday. He is a happy, healthy, well-growing baby! He weighs 12 pounds 14 ounces (70%) and is 24 3/4 inches (86%). While the doctor was checking him, he was smiling and giggling at her. I like presenting happy babies to the doctor.....they have to deal with unhappy kids so often when they are sick that I think it makes their day to see a happy one! Levi does tend to favor turning his head in just one direction. The doctor said he has a tight muscle from his ear to his chest. He is going in to see the physical therapist to do some exercises to stretch that muscle. The nice thing about him being so young and flexible is that the muscle should stretch easily and then he will have full range of motion in his neck. Please pray that Matt and I do his exercises correctly and he is not in (too much) pain during the therapy.
On the more yucky side of our family health, Erika is going through her second round of the flu. She got a bug about 4 or 5 weeks ago and then yesterday afternoon, she seemed to have another bug. At first I thought she was just sick from all the sugar she had on Monday, but then she couldn't even keep water down so I think it might be the flu. She seems MUCH better this morning, however, so I'm praying that we are through the worst part of it. Please pray for her health.
I also need prayers for health. On Friday, I went to the doctor and he told me that I have an ulcer and gave me medication to heal it. I feel fine now, but I have occasional days where the pain is unbearable! Please just pray that I continue to feel great and heal well.
No news about Matt and Laurel's health.....they seem to be fine!
