Smoke

The smoke from the wildfires all over California has settled in the Sacramento valley. It has been awful. At times when I walk outside I think there must be a fire down the street because it so smoky. Everything looks orange as the sunlight is filtered through the smoke. You can see the thick smoke just looking across the street and it smells so strongly it almost chokes you. Needless to say the kids have been forced to stay indoors since Monday. It has also been well over 100 degrees. It's yucky! It is suppose to start clearing this weekend so hopefully we will have some relief soon.

In other news, Drew has been taking his lasix and aldactone only once a day since Wednesday and he is looking kind of puffy. We gave him his meds this morning and if he doesn't start looking better by this afternoon I think I may call the cardiologist.

Puffy face

Update: I called Dr. Parrish and he said to just put Drew back onto his twice daily lasix & aldactone. He said it might take another month before his body is ready to be off the diuretics so we are going to skip our x-ray next week. I'm glad it was something we could do over the phone and that he didn't make me bring Drew in for a bunch of tests.
