Thanks to all who have been praying for my brother. He hasn't had any more seizures, but we still don't know exactly why they happened in the first place. All of the medical tests have said he is normal, but they can't give him a clean bill of health until he's gone a certain period of time (either 6 months or a year) without any seizures. Until then, my parents have given us his car (techincally they've given us their car that they let him drive...) and he's been doing alright. I just always hope that this could be a wake up call to live a more healthy life style, but that has not been the result at this time.
In more light-hearted news, I decided to allow my students to add me as a friend on facebook. Previously I had denied them all, but I figured this will be one more way for me to get them in trouble, and that keeps life interesting. I was excited to see that they had posted a video they had taken at school (with a contraband cellphone I believe) but it turned out just to be one of my more vocal students eating cake and beans at the same time ("eewwww" was squealed by about a half dozen other students). So tomorrow I will get on to them about that... or maybe I'll just make them all eat cake and beans at the same time. Or they can get out of it if they buy me ice cream. Bribery goes a long way in my class.
