Well, a lot has happened this week. We had an orthotist appointment earlier this week, and things have progressed quite a bit. In case you didn't know, there is a ratio of front-back and side-side, which is expressed as a percentage. Normal is about 90%. Devin measures 91%, down from 95% which means he will probably get out of his helmet by the end of June. Maya is around 94%, down from 96%, so she'll be in her helmet probably until the end of July.
Steph had Moh's surgery to remove a basal cell that was the size of a dime on her forehead and underneath was the size of a fifty-cent piece. So the surgery was pretty intense, and they had to really stretch her forehead skin to stitch up the hole left, and she's been in quite a bit of pain the last few days. The swelling has gone down a bit, but she only has 1-2 hours of limited pain in a 6 hour stretch. As a result, we had to cancel a visit from Brian/Lara/Emma this weekend, and Steph was pretty bummed (as was Emma, I'm told).
To make matters more, eh, interesting, the kids both have sinus infections that turned to partial ear/eye infections. Great. But luckily we got some drops and their eyes have cleared up in 2 days. Noses are still crustified, and the kids are on antibiotics for the next 10 days. Things have been really fun around here. I have to give big thanks to Karyn and Davis for giving us a lot of help in the last few days to get everything resolved.
Oh - in other dog news, we took Sam and Tux to the Atlanta Humane Society. Kirby is still on the waiting list to get in there. AHS is no-kill, so I'm happy with that. I'll rant on "pet owners" in a future post, if I remember, but let's just say that it seems like a great majority of "pet owners" are irresponsible shits. Nuff said about that.
So that's the latest news from GA... more news as it occurs.
