Jekyll and Hyde

Yesterday, amid much screaming, my parents took the Animalia to the doctor. When the doctor walked into the room, she turned on the charm. This isn't the first time she's done this and I'm not sure how she knows that someone is evaluating her. The last time we were there it was the same: screaming, fussiness, then giggling and charm when the doctor walked in the room. She knows when someone is judging her I guess.

So the diagnosis is a terrible cold coupled with an increase in acid reflux, probably brought on by drainage from the cold and the lots and lots of saline drops we've been stuffing in her nose. She lost 2oz from the last appointment because she's been struggling to eat. I felt really bad about that. Poor thing.

Today has been a much better day for my parents though. Thank god.
