So I had a most positive email waiting for me this morning from our beloved Dr. Soep.
Connor's Blood Work is looking better each time and the numbers are coming down nicely.
The part that throws us now is wondering what is going on with Connor and his continue measure of pain he is displaying.
Our next step will be to look into a Pain Clinic to help Connor deal and manage his pain, but also look into therapy for him to see how much his fear of JM is impacting his movements as well.
There has been a lot of fear in Connor about this flare. He is worried he will have to be hospitalized again, he is worried that he will have to have his Port put back in. He worries about missing out on school activities and Snow Boarding this Winter, etc etc
We all agree that his fears might be contributing to his confidence of moving.
Does this make sense to all of you?
It would be actually nice if this was the core of it all and not something new that is causing him all this pain. This morning he was hardly moving and when I told him we had to work on his school pages he just sat in his chair with tears running down his face.
It was so sad but I kept moving on and after about 20 minutes he turned his mood around and has been a trouper at school.
I also left a message with the Surgeons Office to take care of the Port Issue and the poky thing that bothers Connor a lot. I hope we get a response soon on this as well :)
Alexander on the other hand is battling a cold right now with a very stuffy nose and an inability to sleep through the nights. The last three nights we woke up in the am and found him sleeping on the Sofa in the living room. So we are curious to see how good we are at keeping this cold contained to sweet Alexander!
On a different note we had a wildlife experience today when Apple and Tasha cornered an animal on a tree on our 'Mountain'.
I admit I was scared to see a Bear in the Tree only to discover there was Cat up in the tree.
We locked up the girls and went inside to give him or her some time to get down, sadly for us but happily for the Cat when we went back to check on him, or her, 30 min later there was no more sight of it.
We so hope it found it's way home! and I am hoping this was an accident and no one in their mind will let a Pet like a Cat run around the Forests here. This was 'just' our dogs cornering it but a big bird, Coyote, Fox, Bobcat or Mountain Lion would probably think he made a great snack.
Hugs,
