All About Keeker

It’s just not fair.  Poor tears-in-her-eyes Keek told me, “It’s not fair that Fish gets his birthday so close to Halloween and I don’t.”  So we’ve had a rougher than normal week but things are looking up now that the birthday party is behind us.  Keek had a blast at the party and loved seeing everyone who came but I think she’s glad it’s all over too!

Keek got new glasses!  The optometrist said she probably won’t need to wear glasses after this year.  Her Rx is only in one eye and it’s the lowest they have.  She only wears the glasses for reading now and soon (6mo – 1yr) that won’t even be necessary!  She got plastic cat eye shaped frames.  They are black on top and clear on the bottom.  So movie star diva chica!

She has made a book of drawings as well.  If I understood her correctly the illustrations are all from her dreams.  The book contains eight drawings and a pocket for some cut outs she made.  The book is bound with hot glue and is very sturdy.  The cover has a uniquely designed piece of abstract art on the front… she made it herself and calls it, “Abstract” lol.   There’s my happy silly little girl!

All About Fish

Fish got new glasses!  His Rx is basically unchanged but we do have to patch more aggressively.  He patches M-F and gets both eyes on the weekends. The glasses are groovy silver wire frames with black earpieces, “and look mom they have nose pads, too!”  He’s quite the young man now.

On Wednesday morning (3am) Fish was suffering with labored, but not audible, breathing.  He had been calmer than usual and coughing since 11am, Tuesday.  It was an asthma attack.  I administered albuteral and waited.  At 6am he was audible and I called the insurance nurse.  She asked all the questions and I had all the right answers so off we went to the hospital.  Fish got a breathing treatment and shot of steroids.  The also did some blood work.  He was slightly anemic but that’s all so we came back home.  Of course all this happened in hospital time so it took h-o-u-r-s… at 10:50 that morning we finally made it home. He is doing well now, still a little wheezy and a bit tired but all in all ok. (I am concerned about trick-or-treating though… we’ll see.)

  Being one to take total advantage of a docile Fish situation… he got a scale cut, oops, I mean a haircut.  He’s now a punk rocker instead of a head banger.  He’s pretty short on the back and sides with long spikes on top.  Awesome…  (-:  These were our inspiration pics…
