So, the first dog is on his way to his new home tonight. We're still working out what to do with our older dog, the very well behaved lab/visla who is going to be much harder to place given his age. It'll be a few days before Weazel is ready to take EnderCat - which is fine. The meds CrazyHorse is on now have worked for the last month or so and he' ( Read more... )

CrazyHorse is done with his appointment and at school. Dr. said his lungs sound great but we're going to try a preventative med - Singulair - to see if we can't nix it completely. I feel SO much better. I can deal with a daily. I can definately deal with no more hospital overnights. I was really concerned because yesterday my motherinlaw (a nurse) ( Read more... )

So - I made it four days keeping track - that's better than nothing! We'll just have to see how it goes. My numbers for January 1 - 4 are fairly pathetic but CrazyHorse is sick again and I actually spent TWO evenings with the Hubster! So - while the numbers might be low now, I don't forsee them staying this low through the year ( Read more... )

We're back to the nebulizer for a week - every 4-6 hours. We'll take him back in on Monday next week. No sign of pneumonia which is good. But, we're going to see about doing some allergy testing which most likely means that my pretty EnderCat will need to find a new home. This makes me incredibly sad. I can't even begin to tell you how much. But, ( Read more... )

Tired but home. Crazyhorse will be home soon - I took the night shift at the hospital last night. Kid didn't sleep well at all - but then, he had someone waking him up every three hours to do a breathing treatment too. When he comes home, he'll have a nebulizer, several meds, and a better antibiotic. I'm thinking there's probably no school again ( Read more... )

Not me - but Crazyhorse. I had to pick him up from school yesterday morning. They hadn't been at school more than fifteen minutes before he got sick. After a lazy day curled up in bed with no reccurences and much much less coughing, he wasn't feeling better, started coughing like mad again and was just miserable. He couldn't sleep and wasn't ( Read more... )

Don't get me wrong - I love my kids every day but this week they've been especially cute and very sweet. Monday - Neil Patrick Harris was on Sesame Street (which we watch for the youngest) and my oldest (8) runs to get me out of the kitchen to tell me that Sesame Street stole Dr. Horrible and turned him into a shoe fairy. He was really upset by ( Read more... )

Sometimes, he gets an idea and runs with it the same way I do ( Read more... )

tonight, I was in such pain. All thoughts of my perfect natural birth had been ripped away hours before, the dual sledgehammers driving into my spine at regular intervals much too much to take without demerol. In the end, I'd been in labor for 36 hours -  crying for my mama, singing dumb campfire songs to get through the pain, visualizing my happy ( Read more... )

Crazyhorse is six. He's bright, sometimes I think he's too bright for my own good. Right now, he's reading the second Harry Potter book. It's a double edged sword for me. I'm thrilled he's reading at that level - even better, he's comprehending at that level. But, I have some issues with the entire Harry Potter series. It may well be a good story ( Read more... )
