Wow... 25 weeks since my last entry. Yeah... I suck.
Shirli and I are back in Tel Aviv for the holiday. It's always nice to be here, even if it's only for a week.
For those of you who follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you probably know that Tobias was in emergency care last weekend. We took him in because it looked like his right eye was bulging out. During the initial visit they also found a heart murmur, in addition to increased interoccular pressure. So he stayed at intensive care overnight, and saw an opthamologist and a cardiologist. His heart is o.k. but he has a leaky valve, so he'll be on medication for the rest of his life. He's also got glaucoma in his right eye, so he's on multiple meds to get the pressure under control. And we already had him on a food trial and antibiotics to figure out a recurring skin infection. Poor guy is getting 6 different meds now, but he's pretty good about taking them.
With all the meds and the fact that increased blood pressure can increase eye pressure, we didn't want to board him this week that we're gone... so Amit is staying at our place and taking care of him this week (Thanks Amit!!!)
Alright... enough for now. I guess if you want to get more regular updates you should follow me on Twitter (or add that to your favorite RSS reader).
Shana Tovah! |
