Today you left for your Alaskan Cruise... Momma is supposed to email you updates, but she is going to blog them instead because she like the attention.
I had a great day at school today. When Momma came to pick me up I was outside playing in the dirt and has as much fun eating it (dirt) as I did going on the slide. I was pretty surprised to see Momma outside in the yard. I was happy, but confused and didn't know exactly what to do with myself. At first I hopped up for a quick cuddle but then I was down again demanding that Momma get me the brooms and mops that hang outside. Momma, brilliant as she is, distracted me by taking me inside to wash my hands.
Once we were inside I wanted to get down and I started pointing out different toys and other features of my new classroom. I was feeling very proud and showing off. I took most of the toys off the shelf and then with some verbal instruction and modeling from Momma I put all the toys back myself!
We left school and went to visit Poppa in the hospital (I didn't sleep in the car and I was a pissy pants!). Tata, Lita, Tio Papo, & my Auntie De were all there. We were only there for a minute and then Dr Reyes (Poppa's infectious disease specialist) came in. He explained that we still didn't have a clue what was wrong. Momma laughed innappropriately... a lot.
Dr Reyes said he believes Poppa will be one of the 25% who never discover a reason for their FUO. He said of those 25%, 80-90% are fine and it resolves on its own after weeks or months (eek!) and the other 10-20% are in the very early stages of something more serious like a blood disorder. If Poppa is better in a few weeks we will just pretend like nothing happened. If Poppa is the same or worse then Dr Reyes will start testing him for lymphoma and other related things. Momma thinks Dr Reyes is cute and would make a good 2nd husband.
Dr. Reyes left and Poppa and I played with some stickers.
Then I started getting super pissy and Momma took me home. I fell asleep in the car and stayed asleep so Momma put me in my crib when we got home (around 6:20). I slept until 7 and woke up to nurse. I tricked Momma into thinking I was going right back to sleep but instead I wanted to play. Rich was over working on an Edit Agents project so I played basketball with him and read a couple of books with my Momma. Momma started trying to get me back to sleep around 8 because I was clearly tired. Oh yeah, she tried to feed me dinner too, but I signed "all done" after the 2nd bite.
It took me over an hour to fall asleep and I finally gave in to it on Momma & Poppa's bed nestled into Poppa's pillow. Sweet, right?
I love you and miss you and hope you are having a blast! More tomorrow,
xoxo,
Angus
