Busy with life

I've been slow with posting updates in the past month, mainly due to being busy with life. The move to the kennels is progressing fast and I've been busy buying things we need (new kitchen, bathroom, everything really!) and scheduling installation and adaptions. Plus I'm back at work which is great but knackering.

Laura has been well and relatively seizure-free since December, thanks to Topamax I think. Her behaviour is not so great though and she can be very hard work at time. She is currently still obsessed with water, perhaps because Topamax makes her very dehydrated. She will drink some water and then proceed to decant it between cups or pour it on the floor. She is permaently wet through pouring water down her clothes. We have increased the fluid in her feeding plan and this seems to have helped alleviate some of the effects of dehydration but her obsession continues. Eventually she will switch to something else and at least it is ONLY water she is pouring about the place.

Not surprisingly with dashing here, there and everywhere, I have gone down with a rather nasty chest cold. At least Laura has respite this weekend, so I can rest a little. Hoping to feel a little better tomorrow as it's a family meal to celebrate my mum's birthday - can't say what age as I don't think she wants it advertised, but it is a special one!
