Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

     Dean is feeling under the weather today now that all the IV steroids given on Tuesday have worn off.  It is nothing major, just GI symptoms and tiredness, so he is staying home from work and I am staying home with him.  These are expected side effects for him. Thanks to everyone for their concerns and kind thoughts about Dean. I will keep you updated.

     Charleigh is starting to act out...probably because she was unceremoniously left at the pet-sitters for 24 hours much too soon after we had adopted her.  She probably thought she was being dumped somewhere again to start over, even though it was a loving home. She was wildly delighted to see us when we picked her up Tuesday night.  By acting out, I mean that this morning she has eaten a roll of toilet paper, grabbed things off of the counters to eat, etc.  These are things she definitely knows better than to do. She is trying to get attention like the teenager she is. I have her on a leash attached to me at present. We are like Siamese twins and where I go, she goes.

     Since by staying home today I have unexpected free time, I thought I would share some medical news articles that I found interesting.

     Here is a column from Dr. Joel Fuhrman's blog on the dangers of BPA (Bisphenol-A) and how to avoid them.

     Here is an article on organic food titled "Is organic food a scam?"  It covers research on organics vs conventional food and fetal/child development and also antibiotic resistance.  If you are on the fence,  this might help you.
