Firs time crossposting to Dreamwidth. I'm starting to worry one day I'll log onto LJ and find it's gone, or at least no longer in English.
Things have been busy as usual; at one point in May I had four teenagers for a few weeks. My two, a nephew, and nephew's friend who I took as an emergency foster when his mother had some issues. That was an interesting experience. I think they played about a thousand hours of Minecraft and went through 100 gallons of milk in three weeks. But now I'm down to just my own two kids. Nephew is staying with grandparents for a while, then heading off to live with his mother, foster kid has gone to live with his grandparents, and my food bill has been cut in half.
We've been dealing with the usual rounds of health issues. Walt has been having periodic episodes of vomiting that have gotten more and more frequent. At this point he has a 24 hour period every couple of weeks where he can't keep any food or liquids down, and all the testing so far has come back normal. We'll be having some more done in August.
Cassie is mostly stable, other than a very deep non-healing would on her right foot. We thought it might be Squamous Cell Carcinoma, but the dermatologist thinks it's okay for now. She referred to a wound care center at the hospital that is staffed by people who had never heard of EB before, and seemed to think I was being overprotective and bossy when I wouldn't let them debride the wound. So they gave us some samples of a silver calcium alginate dressing and sent us on our merry way. Cassie has been really tired the last couple of weeks; having trouble even staying awake long enough to eat sometimes. She got up today at 11, took a nap from 2-4, and asked to be put to bed at 8pm. Hopefully she'll perk up a bit soon.
In fannish news I am not as excited about Season 9 of Supernatural as I should be. I love Sam and Dean and I will forever, but I'm ready to let them ride off into the sunset and live on in fanfic. But I am very happy about season 2 of Revolution.
