Crazy week.....

WOW...it's been a crazy week. Monday evening our dog Jordan had a seizure, during which she bit Mike. After six hours in the DePaul ER we came back home to her second seizure. A trip to the vet, lots of blood work and several hundred dollars later we still have no answers. It may never happen again or she could have one every day. Right now we are just on the "wait and see" plan. Mike's hand is healing and he'll be OK and Jordan hasn't had any problems since Monday. She did however get "grounded" to our house and backyard by the Florissant Animal Control guy. Turns out that hospitals have to report all animal bites even if it's the animal owner that is bit and then the dog must be quarantined to the property for 10 days.

The rest of the week has been busy. Mike's dad and step-mom are visiting from Florida for a few weeks. They haven't seen Drew since he first came home from the NICU and he's really grown since then. Drew's doing great on his baby food. He made it through green beans and peas and he's now on to carrots, squash and sweet potatoes...good thing he likes these now because in five years I'll never get him to eat these veggies again!

Also, Drew is becoming a pro at shopping trips and dinners out these days. We had a great long trip to Target on Friday and he was fine the entire time. Just looked around, flirted with a few ladies and watched the store lights. Then tonight he was great at dinner, he did take a cat nap during the salad but the rest of the meal he was all smiles....seems like a lifetime ago that he was stressing us out during our first shopping trip...guess he just needed to get use to the family outings.
