NORMAL

WE love normal at our house.  We are creatures of normal.  Normal like...Mom gets up in the morning, we got outside, we come back in, we eat, Mom gets ready for work, Dad gets up, Mom leaves for work, we snuggle with Dad, Dad leaves for work, and we sleep until Mom comes home....you get the idea of normal at our house.

Right now though Normal is sitting on the ledge in our living room window , teetering on it, ready to fall off. One good puff of air, and normal goes right over the edge, and a new normal will come a knockin at ours door.   Mom toles us under no circumstances to open the door and let the new normal in.

This weekend all the humans worked very hard to be normal and do normal and act normal.  Us pugs just did our regular normal pug stuff.



Friday our Macey had to go back into the local clinic and they stole more blood from her to send off to the big ole Mayo Clinic.  Then Saturday she had to go back into the clinic so they could make sure she did not have fluid on her lungs.  

Tomorrow is her MRI....she will be brave ...that is who she always is.  Not so much the adults.  The local dr.'s talked to her parents about the possibility of sending her to the Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines.  It is an all inclusive hospital for children and their families.  It is about an hour and half away.  They also suggested St. Judes Children's Hospital.  When Mom heard those words our Momma knew that normal for our whole family could become extinct as the dinosaurs we hear so much about.

We still have a lot of hope that this is one weird odd rare thing that has happened to our Macey and she will end up in the Guinness book of records for having the largest foot in the world for a 6 year old.  I bet she will make enough money from winning the record that she can take her whole family, and even us to Disneyworld.   Yeah Disneyland that would be a cool normal.

Thank you for all the prayers and comments still coming in. 

Stella Rose and Momma

  1. We are crossing our Paws for Macey and all the adults. Some people complain about being stuck in a routine but that routine, where the unexpected does not occur, is a blessing. May your normal stay with you a long time!

    Your Pals,

  14. I just can't believe that those doctors have not figured this out yet! Macey cannot be the only child, ever, to have this happen. There must be an explanantion, and the quicker they can come up with a definitive dx, the sooner she can begin treatment...and get back to the normal life of a young girl.

  15. I cross my paws and I send your Macey 87 hugs for her MRI and I hope for good news. You are in my thoughts and I often think about you when I lay in my bed and wait for Mr. Sandman. That Mr. Normal is rare here too, this guy needs a new GPS that he will find my crib.

  36. Those Mayo Clinic guys are really smart! Sometimes our local doctors are better with fever, flu and broken arms but the big boys at Mayo etc know LOTS MORE stuff! Prayers going up!
