Marsh woke up rough. His color was off and he was really puffy. He perked up after his a.m. meds but not much.

And then he had a well child check up with his pediatrician. She’s PHENOMENAL (as is the rest of the team in the Norwich office) and has cared for Marsh since birth.

But he was still afraid of them. And he had to have his flu shot. The risk/reward of the flu shot is gigantic. Yet I feel terrible for topping off a rough day with a poke (which required three adults to hold down 38 pounds of terrified Marsh). That tripped the trauma fuse from last week’s events and resulted with hysteric cryng so badly he was shaking and purple…

And he has been exhausted ever since. Here’s hoping for an early bedtime, good sleep, and a better tomorrow ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Marsh is ok. Really low energy. Perks up in the afternoon some. Appetite is back. Breathing freely. O2 sats are wonky in his left hand but good. Head is puffy. Still has peripheral swelling. New diuretic seems to be working🤞

Isaac and I took Marsh to school pond today. He walked maybe 20 feet. Our last trip there, he walked all the way to the pond and back to the van that was parked on the road.

He says to say he is “Fine.” Thus I am putting the phone down.

Tiny is a mouthy one..never stops talking.

And Tiny HATES Daisy. Not going well with the rest of the zoo population here either.

Marsh and Tiny are so uncannily similar… Little, adorable, and absolutely FEROCIOUS.
