Merry Christmas, Baby...

We got the good news that we have waited to hear for 4 months, Elliott can finally come off of the monitor! He hasn't had a true episode of apnea or bradycardia in over a month. I was so happy to take those leads off and not have to put them back on...to put his onesie on without having to thread the wires through the snaps... and to finally be able to put him in something that zips instead of snaps!

In other news, Jack got into a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolates and had to go to the Emergency Vet last night... fun right? We didn't make the discovery until around midnight last night, when Eric found three candy wrappers on the floor. It all started to make sense - night before, Jack had some diarrhea and yesterday evening he had thrown up several times. Around 2:30am he was WIRED - could not settle down so I called the vet and took him in - they admitted him and treated him with IV fluids and charcoal to remove the toxins - He only at 3 squares but at 6lbs that was 1 1/2 times the toxic level... I picked him up today around 4pm, all I can say is thank God for credit cards - What's in your wallet?

We went to get our Christmas tree tonight - finally - I was beginning to wonder if we would decorate at all. The kids and I went shopping today with Mom and actually managed to get some things accomplished - doesn't seem to matter how early I start shopping, Christmas always sneaks up on me!
