We're home!





We made it home with Kermit Saturday evening. It's a lot like bringing home a baby, without the fears of course, mainly just adjusting to a new family member who still has 'puppy' in him. We became worried for awhile because by Sunday night he would still not go in the bedrooms or bathroom. We think he doesn't like the feeling of being closed in and prefers open areas. Who does that sound like? His personality is so much like Danny's it's uncanny. Danny didn't go to school today due to the seizure he had last night in the tub. He's had quite a few in the tub lately. We think it's something to do with his body temperature changing. We're concerned that we really need to get a handle on the seizures before summer if temperature change is triggering some of these. Summers are always tough enough for Danny.

Kermit is settling in fine. Looks like it will get better with each day as we learn his habits and he learns ours. He cries when people leave. Wally keeps telling him he's too big to be a cry baby. Bonding much better with Danny today. Danny has pupperonis & Beggin Strips in his room! You can tell Kermit worries about Danny just like we do. These dogs are amazing! He hasn't met Pancake yet. We may give it a few more days but we sure miss her.

  2. Maggie, Temp. change sensitivity is part of dysautonomia. And most Dravet kids have this. We always have had to be so careful with temp changes. So glad you are home, and Kermits adjusting. Can't wait to hear how he does at school.
