Despite recurring illness in this house, be in the arctic sniffles (as Cameron's calls them) or the stomach flu (hit this how 3x this year!) we are surviving what I hope are the last few weeks of winter.
We've already had our 2011 ER visit to check for a shunt malfunction, turned out to be a flu. Thankfully. Hopefully it will be a few months before we head back to Children's ER, but I know it's part of life for Cameron.
Which brings me to the bad news, Mr. Miller, our sweet cavalier passed away last week. He's been sick for years with something common in the breed called Syringomelia and also Hydrocephalus, yes that's correct, both son and our dog suffered from the same condition. Miller began having seizures at 6 months old, before we even had Cameron. He's had a rough life (the dog) lots of medications, lots of seizures and he finally had enough last week. It was a hard day saying goodbye to Mr. Miller and the boys are asking many questions and a lot of "we miss Mr. Miller".
Cameron wants to go speak with the Dr., his exact words when I came home, "I want to go talk to that doctor" I am treading lightly as we try to explain to Cameron that Miller was sick. Saying he went to the Dr. and was too sick to come home, weighs a bit more heavily on Cameron, and us.
Some of you probably think I am nuts making this corealtion, but trust me he's asking a lot of questions and this child is far more perceptive than we give him credit for...
Well enough of the sappy stuff. We have a big week, Cameron goes in for his Kidney ultrasound and urology appointment Tuesday, expecting good reports!
