The Beautiful Sound of Vomiting in the Morning!

Susanne was abruptly woken up this morning to the lovely sound of her dog vomiting on her carpet. This wouldn't be so bad if James would just do it on the bathroom floor, which in turn would make for easy clean up. Somehow all of the animals liked to vomit in the most visible, high traffic areas for all the world to see. This definitely made it challenging to keep the house looking new, especially since the carpets were a light color. While Susanne was cleaning up the mess that James had made, she was serenaded by the sound of Paxton dry heaving and gagging in the background. Luckily, Moppy had stayed the night and was able to help out the situation.

Susanne had a busy, but good day at work. She was hoping to get out in time to make it to the mall to run a couple of errands she desperately needed to do. Unfortunately, she got out right as the mall was closing. Now she would have to postpone those few things on her to do list AGAIN. Bummer!

Moppy thought that Paxton had a relatively great day. He was really responsive to therapy. He even lifted his head during tummy time without being prompted. He was gaining strength every single day. She also noticed that she had to give him little to no help when encouraging him to roll to his side. They were sure he would master this all by himself in no time. Also, Paxton did not require any support under his shoulders to help him extend his arms up in the air. He was able to fight against gravity and grab for toys all by himself. His daily improvements were so encouraging to Susanne. It really helped prove that all of the hard work and dedication that had been put forth towards Paxton was well worth it. He was such a little fighter and a true inspiration. Go little man, go!
