Crisis Averted

Susanne spent her morning by herself while Scott was at a meeting for local photographers in the area. She thought that she would be able to hang out with Paxton, but he didn't wake up for the day until noon. Susanne had been noticing that he was having difficulty going down for the night for the last few days. He would finally fall asleep around midnight. Most of the time, he would still wake up for a short time between his morning feeding. It was uaually not by his choice because he would wake himself up gagging.

While Scott was out, he was going to try to get a refill of one of Paxton's medications. They had never used a different pharmacy than the original ones that they started out with, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Paxton had been given the last amount of the medication this morning. They would need to get their hands on more of it before 3:00pm when the next dose was due. Susanne had Moppy pick up refills of his medications earlier in the week, but they were in Virginia. She did not predict that she wouldn't have enough to get her through until Sunday. Susanne had Paxton's cardiologist fax her a prescription yesterday to help try to solve the problem. They thought that they had averted the issue until Scott found out that the medication had to be compounded and there was no compound pharmacist working today. When Susanne called over to the pharmacy, she was able to work her magic and find a pharmacist that was willing to do this for them. They were so thankful for generous people.

Scott and Susanne were hoping to be able to sit down and watch a movie together at some point. Unfortunately, this didn't occur until later in the evening. Even though it shouldn't surprise them at this point that their time was not their own, it still bummed them out at times. They decided to watch the third Harry Potter DVD in the series. Susanne and Scott didn't know much about Harry Potter, but their interest was piqued after watching the first one with Poppy. Scott made delicious Shirley Temples as a treat. They ended up having to stop and start the movie a few times because of a variety of reasons including keeping up with Paxton's feeding schedule. He actually woke up at one point and was able to join them for a portion of the entertainment.

After the movie, they were exhausted. They were still going to try to push through and stay up to watch Saturday Night Live. Good luck with that!
