More Dddddd’s …

DECLARATION!

Amanda’s spinal fluid tested negative for staph infection and had no white blood cells (white blood cells show up where there is infection … so no white cells in her fluid means no infection in her brain or shunt!).

I DO DECLARE!!

And then there are the words,

DINNER,

and

DEGREASE.

Poor Amanda has gone a week without a hair wash – she’s been too sick and in bed the whole time! Well, this evening we got her up in her wheelchair, she ate a DINNER of macaroni and cheese and then we washed her hair and used the blow dryer on it.  It was so dirty/greasy she looked like she had brown hair.  We degreased her.

She’s blonde again.

We are making strides. She is still very weak and easily confused.

But things are moving in a positive ….

DIRECTION.

Dat’s all folks.

Hey – it’s me! just Laurel. I am just a 50-something year old mom who lives in southeastern Michigan. Married forever to the love of my life, Ted. We are just like any other family with kids out there: working hard and doing our best to raise great kids and to live as decent, moral people.
