almost 5

It's been a bit of a rough spat. Thursday after the bone scan, Lars had 3 major seizures, 2 in the bathtub. It was difficult to keep him safe; body movements were strong & took him over onto his side in the water. Then Sunday he had his biggest seizure day ever with 12 seizures, all between 40 seconds and 2 minutes. Really intense day followed by a GI bug, which he's been very chipper through, but the gory details are, indeed, gory. Last night I changed him 8 times & gave him 2 baths in the middle of the night, extra-vigilant because this stuff is so nasty that it eats through skin quickly & I don't want him to get a terrible rash.

But, as I said, in spite of it all he's been generally happy & had a good week. He'll be 5 a week from tomorrow. Check out the new haircut: Donna @ Salon Paradiso in Natick.

goin' to the mall

Good thing Lars has his 20-something PCA friends to take him to the mall to experience goodies like hadbags & chair massagers. This is Allie & Lars at the mall this week.
