Day +58

The weekend was a mixed bag (with a healthy dose of awesome - keep reading).  Over all - nothing bad happened.  The dressing change did not involve an overdose this time, went OK, was just stressful in getting set up.  Zevi was anxious, I was anxious and growled at everyone - not pretty.  In the end we all pulled though and got it done.

The gut continues to bother Zevi.  The on-and-off diarrhea has been going on for two weeks now.  Mercifully, no real fever, no blood in the stool (so maybe it is not GVH - we hope) and Zevi has been drinking enough to replenish fluids.  In the mean time Zevi has not been eating well at all.  We got some dairy into him today, which was good and nutritious but upset his stomach further.  We will continue to search for foods he will eat that will agree with him.  Energy level has been pretty low as well - not too surprising for someone with upset stomach, I guess.  The (lack of) sleep and iPad addiction both continue to be struggles.  Through all that - it is another weekend at home, so I suppose I should be grateful.  Things could be worse.  We did manage to drag Zevi to a track last night.  He ran a little and rode dad's shoulders to two laps.  Mom and dad got to jog too.

Benjamin spent the weekend with the grandparents.  His runny nose is pretty much done, but we are being careful and, frankly, happy to have just Zevi with us - he's been challenging enough.  Benya did have a pretty busy social schedule of his own this weekend: Lego building class and two birthdays.

Yet the real highlight of the weekend came compliments of a very cool crew of car enthusiasts:

We want to thank two wonderful individuals who shared their time and love of cars to give Zevi a chance to ride in a remarkable car this weekend.  For those who appreciate cars: Zevi rode in a midnight-blue Mclaren mp4-12c, 625 hp "spyder" model.  For those who don't: this is a real supercar, it is every bit as awesome as it looks.

Zevi loved the car from the get-go.  After seeing the gull-wing doors he asked: "Does it fly?"

Did it ever!

After the ride dad got to sit in it too

While Zevi was riding this beauty, I was in the "follow car" - the 2015 BMW M4, an awesome car in it's own class.  More pictures later is the two kind and modest individuals give me permission to post pics of them here. In the mean time - Thank You!
