Once again, I find myself writing the blog on the eve of a holiday. It has been a busy week, wrapping up another fun Christmas visit from Grandma and Grandpa. Of course, no truly fun experience can be completed without a quick trip to urgent care. In this case, Grandma caught one of our notorious Wisconsin winter viruses and was feeling badly enough to seek medical attention. Unfortunately, best medical advice for this particular illness was to remain hydrated and rest--at least she tested negative for flu. Unsurprisingly, said non-flu virus made a romp through the rest of the family, including Lemon, Lime, and Papa Bear, while Grandpa and I did our best to keep the operation afloat. Papa Bear and Lime are more or less over it at this point. Lemon seems to be feeling OK, but of course still has a really big cough that is preventing us from giving him the full volume on his tube feeds. So much for catching up on weight gain over the winter break, but at least we backed down quickly enough on the tube feeds that there hasn't been any puking.
Papa Bear and I haven't had a chance yet to get through all the photos from last week, and I figure many of you may be otherwise occupied later this evening, so in lieu of a more up-to-date spread, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at all of the new years that we've celebrated since this blog began. It's been quite a ride, and it's been a great joy and comfort to share it with all of you. Looking forward to whatever 2019 has in store!
