Day: June 2, 2008

june already!

what a great time of year it is. the kids are racing around in their summer pajamas, all except jasper who clings to his dorothy the dinosaur pajamas, which now end several inches before his wrist begins. they are so short. he digs past all his summer short pajamas to his flannel dorothys and wears them, smiling happily and sweating muchly. little jasper.

tomorrow jasper is seeing a doctor about his lungs. last month the doctor was really concerned about the state of jasper's lungs and his harrison's sulcus, noting that jasper wheezes even after a short walk. he doubled up on his drugs and tomorrow we will see if the steroids have had any effect and if not, what he recommends.

last visit, i touched on the possibility of leaving hong kong. might that be best for jasper? and then the doctor asked me if jasper has ever needed his nebuliser anywhere else. and i said he had. interestingly, when we were in toronto and edmonton, of all places.

not for one moment do i believe it was pollution that caused that reaction, instead it was the cross pollination of trees. apparently it is a real problem. so the doctor didn't think an immediate exodus from hong kong was necessary, but then again, we never know what God has planned, do we.

hopefully tomorrow the doctor will say there is improvement in the wheezing. that would be really nice. as for the blonde man himself, right now he is curled up asleep, wearing his new (yes, i am trying to bribe him away from dorothy) power rangers pajamas. also a nice change, not to see him in sky blue and pink. do you think i should tell jasper i am about to throw away his favourite pajamas and let him say goodbye, or should they just not be here at the end of the summer when we return from vacation?
