New digs and new dots
Comment from Gramily, at 3:44 AM
Ohhhh, things are progressing. GREAT! I love Zachy's haircut as well as his project. Concept of REstickable dots is terrific.

Pile it all on
Oh, and because of the antibiotics, he has thrush.
So now, in addition to the list below, he ASLO has:
AM: Nystatin, Orapred, Pulmicort and Xopanex
PM: [same]

So, is that apartment at Peri's available longterm, so that you can get doting grandparent help with all these needs?

You're a superstar. My (non-religious) prayers are with you and the little'uns...

Mirage gone
I will say this: Zach still has reflux, it turns out, and putting him back on Prevacid again has helped tremendously. He was waking up many times a night crying -- and now that has stopped.
Both kids are going on their third week of sickness, and despite antibiotics, have viral symptoms that continue. Phlemy coughs, dripping noses, difficulty breathing -- oh, the party we're having over here!
I will now itemize the meds I give the children:
Zach:
AM: Flovent steroid inhaler, amoxicillin
PM: Flovent steroid inhaler, Xopanex rescue inhaler, Singulair, Prevacid, amoxicillin
Dexter:
AM: Zantac, amoxicillin, Xopanex inhaler
PM: Zantac, amoxicillin, Prevacid, Xopanex inhaler
Okay let me think hard here for a CTotD (cute thing of the day) ...
Zachy has been climbing into Dexter's crib with him, and lying down on the floor with him, and the two giggle and smile together. This is brand new!

Not cute exactly, but for

Cute thing of the day
Today's cute thing of the day: Zachy woke up for the third day in a row saying, "Grandma coming to visit you. Make cookies."
Comment from Gramily, at 4:26 AM
OOOOOOh, That IS a cute thing! We are cookie-making partners.

Update
- Magic Eraser really is magic. It took ALL of the Sharpie pen off our microwave, Cuisinart, counter, cabinet and, most impressive, off of our white KitchenAid mixer! Thanks, Jen!
- Zachy had his first few telephone conversations last week. He first called Gramily to say Hi to the answering machine. Then he called Dada and told him about garbage trucks, asked him if he could see cranes and diggers at work, and said he's see him later.
- Both boys still have colds. Not bad ones, but Zachy is coughing tonight.
- Dex' pedi GI says he's doing fine, not to worry too much about the dual medicines he has going, and to try not sleeping on the wedge. He loves not sleeping on the wedge! Woohoo! Darn it, he looks so much more comfortable now, when he sleeps. All peaceful and cute.
- Zach's asthma specialst recommends weaning him down off his big guns steroid inhaler to a smaller dose, and removing the Singulair too. To see what happens. But then we bump him up again if he gets sick, and again in September for cold season.
- Did cold season extended this year? Seems like a lot of colds going around.

I love getting these updates. It is so helpful to a grandparent on an opposing coast. I did read about the magic eraser but didn't trust the word "magic." It's a concept I don't support so I rejected it. Ha! Glad it worked.

Sharpie surprise
Comment from Gramily, at 6:01 PM
I know I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it. I keep picturing Zach with a sharpie in his hand.
Comment from , at 4:24 AM
Seems like I remember similar artwork thirty-odd years ago!
Comment from Gramily, at 4:33 AM
Isopropyl alcohol should remove the stain. Use higher purity (i.e. 92% and up) and mix with Comet if it doesn't come off with just the alcohol.
Comment from Jennifer Oxe, at 12:34 PM
OMG! We had one of those "accidents" on our white coffee table except the Sharpie of choice was red. I used magic eraser and it came off.
