We went with my friend Nads to visit our friend Esther and her new baby today. Oh so sweet. I remember those days with my little slug and her jerky arm movements and sloppy facial expressions. Esther's little boy sweet as an angel sleeping on her in the sling through lunch, my little cherub playing under the table eating morsels that she'd dropped during her stint at the table and anything else she can find.
It was so nice to be on the receiving end of motherhood questions and to be able to encourage Esther on her maternal skills. I remember how much it meant to me to hear "you're doing a good job".
After our visit, we drove back in to the city to see our Naturopath. Dr. Veeravagu had asked us to come back in and had made time for us after hours. I was pretty sure he must have something important to tell us in order to schedule us in on his Friday night. It turns out he had spoken to his Lyme specialist colleague in Seattle and wanted us to get back on the antibiotics; apparently there are a lot of false negative biopsies and a good chance of having a fungal infection along with Lyme disease. He figured that the side effects from antibiotics (well combated with probiotics) were far less damaging than the long term effects of Lyme Disease.
So I had a weepy night when I picked up a prescription for Amoxicillin that was double what we were taking before and for another 6 weeks!
I will leave you with a couple of cheerful photos from our visit today and from our night out Wednesday.
