 I felt bad for Paul today. He has stepped into the world of management and is discovering the highs and lows of that position.

Today he got home from work and proceeded to have a 3 hour meeting regarding work things. What a long day. He was not able to do the things I needed him to do to prepare for our new dog tomorrow.

I wasn’t even upset about it. I just felt horrible that he essentially had no break. I at least made him dinner.

Ethan was supposed to get bloodwork done today, but we are going to go on Thursday instead. Ethan’s medication times were delayed because of his ultrasound yesterday and he didn’t want that to screw anything up.

Tomorrow morning we will meet with the nephrologist to see what else we can do to preserve the life of this kidney for Ethan. I went down a rabbit hole with reading about potassium binders, Ace inhibitors and more. I am curious what the doctor will do. 

While I am excited about getting our new guy tomorrow, I have been anxious about Ethan’s appointments this week. My back has been tight and I have been on edge.

We find out tomorrow around noon, what time we will be heading to Buffalo to pick up the new pup. It will be just Ethan and myself going to get him. The other two Diiulio’s will be working.

I have a list of names and we are hoping that once we meet him, one will be obvious.
