What a Tuesday!!

Well, what a horrible day yesterday was! Our dog, Reagan, had been acting funny since we got back from our trip. He hadn't eaten since Sunday and he didn't want to be in the house at all (for those of you who know him, is REALLY odd). He was just wandering around the back yard. So we took him to the vet...they said he has a rectal tumor the size of a lemon and that it is causing him to be "backed up" incredibly bad. He is also leaking urine which they don't know what is causing that. They did a biopsy and we will have the results for that by tomorrow hopefully. I'm sooo worried about him. They gave us some stuff to help him go to the bathroom now, but we'll probably have to do surgery in the next week or so.

Secondly, while Olivia was at school yesterday, she accidentally got scratched on her eye on the playground. We didn't think it was that bad, but when she woke up from her nap she was really screaming that it hurt. So, since our paediatrician couldn't get her in late yesterday, David took her to the Urgent Care Clinic over by our house. The doc said that she did have a severe corneal abrasion and that we needed to take her to a specialist. They also made a makeshift eye patch for her to wear. Needless to say, that didn't last long. We had to go buy some eye patches from HEB while we got her prescription filled. Thank goodness, that gave her a codeine/ Tylenol drug to help her sleep last night. She hasn't slept that long in a while!

I'll keep you posted as to the progress of both. What a mess!!

I'm so sorry about Olivia's eye and Reagan illness.
Ask your Mom about Bryan's Big Wheel accident sometime. We can laugh about it now, but I still can't look at the Easter pictures from that year!
Love you all!
