Parasitism

Stay Puft Learns to Cook

It is never a dull moment. Stay Puft has discovered play kitchens and is the Julia Child of her new school. Every time I go to pick her up she has a saute pan in one and and spatula in the other. Am I the only person who has family member who refer to that kitchen utensil as a "Spatular"? I digress. Wilson has attended his first middle school dance. He was relieved to learn that he didn't have to dance with a girl but let me know that the rumor was that he would have to at the next dance. I wait with baited breath. 

Senor Toilet is wonderful and has arrived at a very sweet age, when he isn't tired, or being goaded on by his brother. School is back in session for me as well and things around here are as comfortable as gravy on a biscuit. They were. Things have taken a turn and I have to ask for your prayers. 

I had to take the supermodel to the hospital today and missed half a day of work. She apparently is harboring a parasite. We aren't quite sure how she contracted it or where but the doctor seems to think that the supermodel will be okay so, that is good news. Bad news is that she has to carry it around and deal with the side effects for another 9 months.

current developmental state

We went and had it imaged and sure enough there is something living inside her and sapping her of her nutrients and will to live. I will include a rough estimate of what it looks like at this point.

The doctor assured us that at some point around the beginning of April that this Abdominal Remora will turn my wife's insides "a loose" and come on out. 

We are anxiously awaiting that day and are excited to see what the thing looks like fully developed. At some point I hope to figure out this mode of transmission.
