3/9/25

 I am so angry about the man that was killed by seven people locally. They gave this man a slow and torturous deal with frequent beatings, starvation and forcing him to eat feces and drink urine in the presence of children.

This 24 year old man died from this repeated and lengthy abuse from people that chose to be barbaric and cruel.

I can’t even imagine finding out my child died in such a horrific way. How do you even cope with that? How do you even wrap your brain around multiple people participating in this captivity for so many weeks?

How does any punishment given to these people even come close to being forgiven or as “payment” for their crimes? Now we, as tax payers, have to support the meals and care for these people for ever?

I know it is hateful to wish any ill will on anyone, but I wish there was a way for these people to suffer the same fate as they caused this man. End rant!

I was far more productive today than yesterday. I checked off a lot of things on my list of chores.

This evening I spent looking up the differences between Ace inhibitors, arb inhibitors and SGLT2’s as well as compliment Protien inhibitors. We have known that Ethan is missing some compliment proteins which was suspected to be the reason he had so many bouts of pneumonia when he was younger.

I did learn that Ace inhibitors and arb inhibitors can increase the potassium which Ethan is on medication to lower his because it was so high. I made notes and jotted down my questions. I am ready for Wednesday.

Tomorrow my first interview starts at 7 am. It is going to be a busy day. I have a meeting for the advisory board for our local vet tech school. I am missing some work meetings to attend that. 

I have to run and grab the paperwork for Moe to start his training class. Then Paul and I are getting our taxes done. It’s an exciting day of adult tasks. 

The sunshine was so appreciated today. I was even outside without a coat on. We are headed in the right direction! I hate that we lose an hour, but what are we going to do?
