About Me

My photo
Well, I am not the most outgoing person you will ever come in contact with, but I like to meet new people and travel to new places. I have great friends, some of which I met thanks to the online "world"! I am a teacher to young children with special needs and have also been a foster parent since 2006. I have a beautiful little boy now; I have had him the longest...he is almost 17 months old.

Thankful for God's help!

I had quite a scare last night! I had taken the baby to the doctor because he was having body jerks and had a fever and the doctor prescribed some medicine. A little while later, when I took Demetri to the store with me to get his prescription and some more over the counter meds for him, he was sitting in the cart and started with the body jerks. But, they didn't stop and he then started convulsing uncontrollably and also drooling. It was so scary for me and I ended up calling 911. People shopping and working at Target were so helpful and also tried to comfort me as it was evident that I was shaken up. It turns out that Demetri's fever had spiked even after being at the doctor. When they took it at the hospital, his temperature had climbed to over 104. He stayed at the hospital for a couple hours and they gave him some meds and an IV and also monitored his heart. Thankfully, during the night, he was so much better and I got up every couple of hours to give him his medicine. I am so thankful God interceded for him and touched him!

YAY! I am on Spring Break! The weather in PA is beautiful and I hope that the next few days are going to be the same way. I have a friend coming in to visit and we are going to NYC and DC to do some sight-seeing. My oldest sister doesn't live too far from DC, so I will get to spend some time with her too! This past weekend we went to the wedding of Pastor John Walter. He is the pastor of the church in which I mainly grew up. The wedding was held in TN...what a long trip! I wish we could have spent more time there, but that did not happen. Oh well! We left after work on Friday and returned home early Sunday morning. I saw some familiar faces and some people I had not seen in years. Here are a few pictures from the event.

Ok, so it has been awhile! Life is busy, of course...and life never seems dull! My laptop died the other week and I was sick for about 2-3 weeks. Then, I finally decided to go to the clinic because !my sickness just would not go away! I about fainted one day, which was a very strange experience. Things turned all black and then I had a "hot flash"! No, I am not menopausal! Anyway, I am feeling much better since I got the antibiotic in me!

Well, it is finally starting to feel like Spring here in PA, but I not sure it is here to stay quite yet! I will be glad when it does, though! Those of you who know me...know I hate the cold!

Today is also my beautiful niece's birthday...she is starting her last year before she becomes a teenager! It is amazing how quickly time goes by!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADRIANA...Your aunt Sandra loves you!
