A Green Country military mom is especially proud of her soldier son. He’s on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, and now he’s been honored for his bravery under fire with a Silver Star.
It’s not his first medal.
For a mother with a son in a war zone, Lisa Wheat is pretty cool, calm and collected.
“I’m comfortable because I know the training he’s had. He’s had excellent training. And I just have all of the confidence in the world in him,” Lisa Wheat said.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Madison Update: Influenza
I first need to thank Marisa and Kat for keeping me calm last night (I’ll link you guys after I get some sleep tonight). They kept me calm when Madison’s fever spiked up to 105.7 last night. We got it back down.
However, her fever spiked back up around 2 this afternoon to 102.3 which at that point I called the doctor. I then gave her some Motrin again. They got her in at 3:15, and we didn’t get back into the room until 4. When they took her temp there, she was at 104.9. They gave her some Tylenol, did a strep test, and a urinalysis. They think she has influenza. They think she’ll be over it by Thursday (we are suppose to leave for AZ Friday morning, so at this point, we have no idea if we are going yet). However, I guess influenza is highly contagious, so they are worried that Will is going to get it. Since he is only 8 months old, that would be very very bad. We now have to give her Motrin and Tylenol alternating every four hours.
If I don’t get to post anything tomorrow, we are back at the doctors office.
