Yay, Zen! I hope he also got a clean bill of health.
Sadly, no such luck for Max. He was back at the vet on Saturday, and the x-ray showed almost no improvement in one lung. He was referred to the specialist for a lung wash (basically, a water-based method of obtaining samples of whatever is clogging the lung). That was scheduled for today -- but we found out when we got to the specialist that the wash shouldn't be performed until Max has been off antibiotics for at least five days (and some specialists recommend waiting for a month!). And Max is still on Zeniquin.
So we finish off the course of antiobiotics, then wait seven days until next Wednesday.
Overall, his appetite is better, and he's more lively. But not nearly as well as he should be after three weeks on antibiotics.
Cash, how important is the meeting? Is it bail-able?
My weird dilemma is that Grace qualifies for 11 8-hour shifts of nursing. We are planning on using 5 shifts from 12 noon to 8 pm after Grace gets home from preschool.
The other 6 shifts are a mystery. Grace gets a feed at midnight and food at 4:00 AM and some meds at 3:00 AM. It would be most convenient to have someone do a midnight to 8 AM shift, which would mean getting her to the bus for school would be covered by the nurse too.
But we're qualmy about someone in the house overnight while we are a asleep. Weird, right? I think we're having a hard time adjusting because we hadn't planned on so much nursing, but I am not likely to say NO! because what if we need it later?
This is the issue with dealing with bureaucratic systems. That hoarding mentality.
Leo passes the healthy-kitty~ma on to Max! Hang tough, Max.
Leo's diagnosis was bacterial gasteroenteritis. He has five days' of meds to take, and I need to keep a close eye on him, but it seems he'll be okay.

That's what I was wondering. Skip if you can though if you think Liv is really getting a fever.
I am grumpy. My arm is more banged up than I'd thought and is still bothering me. I can't find the authoritative project plan. I have four file discrepancies I can't account for. Grr.
I am also grumpy, perhaps because I feel like I am getting a cold, and people are dumb.
Sheesh this day has been fraught, huh? I woke up with a nosebleed and it didn`t get better from there. I had another one during class and have been completely wiped. And this is during our two days of roommate free life. I feel like I`m wasting it. We did stop on the way home for a really nice lunch at a lovely old hotel.
Crap. Frank Frazetta died today.
OMG, why is the first day so exhausting? It's not like I did anything!
May you have a big office, competant staff, and no firwalls!
Small office, no staff (not that report to me, really), but the team seems smart and competant, and I don't really know about firewalls yet, but I did check my yahoo mail, and that would be a typical thing to block, no? I don't know.
movers are moving stuff! MOVING DAY!!!!
OMG Nora and Tom!! I feel terrible that I'm not sending them off tonight, but couldn't make the timing make sense what with my need to go to bed like right now.
msbelle, this is a good site for finding recipes that use what you have: [link]

I can see the qualms conceptually, but think how awesome it would be to not have to be up in the middle of the night all the time! The night nurse is a classic.
Timelies all!
Started yesterday with the gigantic Mother's Day brunch at my brother's place. 13 adults and 6 kids. Then took Amtrak back to DC and met G's mom for dinner. Tired now.
