I know. I know. The resemblance is uncanny! It is AMAZING how a simple nasal canulla can make two people look so much alike! Actually, the person to the right is Par's great-grandfather, Daddy Joe (my grandfather)--the person to the left is Par. :)
Praise God, my IV has been removed! Rusty administered my final round of antibiotic intravenously this morning and then I went to the doctor around 1pm to have it removed. For the next 6 days, I will be on an antibiotic orally that prevents me from breastfeeding Par--so for now we'll be putting a good dent into our collection in our freezer--and I'll be pumping (a lot). Hopefully the hospital stay and pumping are a penance that can be applied retroactively...not that I have anything in mind.
Par was very excited to wear his outfit that his Aunt Sally gave him for Christmas. He was very warm and cozy in it all day!
Well...for those of you wondering "what else could happen!"--we took Tiffany to the vet today because she had a heck of a case of halitosis! As many know, stinky breath can be a sign of something bad going on--but for Tiffany, she has a mean case of gingivitis. Later in the week she'll have her teeth cleaned, which means she has to be "asleep"--I'm nervous for her, but surely--SURELY--nothing else could possibly happen.
We are looking forward to getting into a routine (again)--or at the least, we are looking forward to clean clothes, fresh sheets and nice showers during reasonable hours--all in our own home.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We thank God for our health and for the great news we're hearing from Ella's camp--looks like she might be headed home this week. Please pray that all will fall into place.
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par

Glad you got to visit your Great-grandfather Par. It is wonderful news to at home and in your own space. Hope you continue to feel better. Love and Blessings, Jim and Sheila
My mother always used to say that things ran in 3's. So, hopefully Tiffany is #3. Cameo has had her teeth cleaned many many times----more than our previous Shelties had altogether and is looking forward?!? to it again in a few weeks. Doggy Aqua-dent has kept it from being every 6 months. Tiffany will do just fine. Are delighted that you are home and improving and that Par is "officially" a member of the church. In our book he always was.
Thoughts and prayers continue.
Peace,
Anne & Bob and a woof from Cameo for Tiffany
