Kid post.
To the good:
Leaving this morning and saying 'bye bye, love you' - I got a 'wuv you' in response. Not too sure he's got the meaning behind it, but I'll take it. The boys also came by and took me out for lunch today, and Xander really likes kissing Daddy on the cheek. Awwwwww.
To the bad:
The report on the bone age x-rays is back, and shows that Xander is two years behind on bone age. I'm scratching my head. Bone age is currently two years of age, with a 6.6 month wiggle. He'll be 4 in August. Report going to endocrinologist, this is characteristic of hypothyroid - I just don't know what they do about it, if anything.
To the WTF:
Lunch had a dish of chocolate ice cream to top off the meal. What else can chocolate ice cream masquerade as, that might have been dead nasty? Because initially, kid wouldn't touch it and didn't trust us telling him it was chocolate ice cream.
After we almost finished it off between ourselves, he picked up his spoon, tried a bit (the facial expression was *priceless*) and only THEN pronounced it chocolate and almost didn't let us have any more of it! Kid loves ice cream, better than just about anything - I'd put it right up there with ramen (and the Top Ramen kind, not the good stuff) as far as favorite foods go.
But up to now, we'd only had vanilla at home. What else could it have been? It looked like someone had skunked him on it once before - any guesses?
Kitty back to the vet today - they're working her up again, x-rays and bloodwork. There doesn't appear to be any jaundice, so they're not suspecting liver disease...so why isn't she gaining weight? She's lost ground again in that regard - even though she's cognitively better, she's VERY thin and wobbly. She's acting a lot like a normal cat - she just doesn't eat or look like a normal cat. Let it be fixable, is all I ask.
