What's the cure?

At the end of February our family planned a trip to St. Louis (3.5 hours away) so Shawn, Brady, Justin and I could attend the temple. Our plan was to leave friday right after school. On thursday morning Ryker woke up with 102 fever. Thursday afternoon I called Shawn and asked him to call our home teacher so they could give him a blessing. That evening the blessing occurred and a small miracle happened and on Friday morning Ryker woke up fine and we were able to attend the temple.

Well yesterday morning Ryker woke up and again had a 102 fever and he was very miserable. He had a sore throat and didn't want to eat anything. The only thing he wanted was a grape soda but he didn't drink much of that. He slept most of the morning and in the early afternoon he asked me if he could get a blessing. So I called Shawn and gave him Rykers request. While he waited for his dad I ask him if he wanted to take some more medicine. He said, "Isn't dad going to give me a blessing?" I told him, "yes." He replied, "then I don't need any medicine." Shawn wasn't able to make it home until 8:00 and about 8:15 a friend of ours from church came over and helped Shawn give Ryker the blessing.

Ryker fell asleep shortly thereafter and then about 6:00 this morning he got up and got some more of the grape soda and went back to bed until 10:45. WOW!! Another small miracle. When he woke up I ask him how he was feeling. He said, "GOOD." I said, "That's great, that priesthood blessing worked." He replied, "Oh, I think it was the grape soda I had this morning, those blessings don't work on me."

Of course I gently reminded him of the wonderful power of the priesthood and that indeed it was the priesthood that had healed him and not the grape soda.
