The Zoo

We are doing ok, I think.  So often I marvel at how we go through these intense spells with Rachel, she almost dies and then almost immediately we have to carry on with normal stuff, work phone calls etc...It is necessary in many ways.  We just have to, I think, to stay sane! As usual, I find the impact of it hits a day or two later.  Rachel was doing better this morning and so we joined Ethan's preschool class in going to the zoo today.  Ethan rode there in the school bus with his classmates and we drove.  We had a bit of a nerve-wracking time between the lemurs and the gorillas, when it seemed to me that Rachel was having another spell.  She was just coming out of another sleep.  Of all the awkward places for this to happen, this was way up there!! But thankfully she was ok.  She is definetely muted today but she has given us several beautiful smiles too:)

With one of several Triceratops at the zoo...really, why are there so many of this one kind?? We spent most of the time with Grandma but Ethan rode the bus and we joined his class for lunch.
