It was a hard weekend.
We sent Alex kitty down to the cat lady neighbor for an extended playdate. You both said you miss him but were very brave about our kitty-less house. Charlotte, you drew one of your sweet cat pictures, which I will photograph for posterity and said, "I miss Alex." Natalie, you had your sweet pout going this morning before school...the same one that slays us ever since you were a wee one, and I asked what was wrong. "Alex," you said.
Today, Charlotte goes to the ENT to find out if her inner ear tubes are not functioning right. You have had ear infections since Alex arrived in September. Bad ones. On and off. Your pediatrician thinks you may have allergies blocking up your inner ears. I don't know if it's kitty allergies (they run in our family) but the timing is suspicous. I needed to take Alex out of the house until you can see the allergist in January. Or maybe the ENT will give us some more insight and we'll just take him back tonight. :) We will get through it.
Natalie you have had nosebleeds on and off for over a year. You had a bad one at school last week. Your blood count indicates that you clot slightly slower than you should. The ENT will look at your nose and make sure it doesn't have an erupted, non functioning vessel that needs to be cauterized. You told me all you wanted for Christmas is no more nose bleeds. And, the ENT squeezed you in early due to cancellation so maybe you'll get your wish.
All in all, we are so fortunate for your health. I hope we can resolve these little hiccups quickly in time for Santa. And I hope Alex is happy with the other four cats today. I'm sorry he had to leave.
