COMMENTS:
Rose was very quiet today, but seemed focused. Ros & Lee had an appointment for a portrait this afternoon @ 3p, but wasn’t able to make the appointment because Kemper was sick. I rescheduled the appointment for next Thursday, 12/3 and was able to get Kemper in to see the vet at 2:30. Kemper had laryngitis, ear infection, swollen tonsils, strep throat and a major sinus attack, he had so much sinus drainage he was choking on phlegm. I took him to the vet because I thought he had swallowed something that had gotten stuck in his throat. He was coughing, gagging and throwing up phlegm continuously. He got 2 shots and came home with 2 more antibiotics for ears and throat.

Jennifer, Stephanie, Andrew, Lily, Jake and Miguel left early for their 10a college visit @ Miami. Sophie and Charlotte were in school and Chase stayed home with grandma and grandpa. Everyone was home in time for dinner. Fortunately, before the day had gotten too crazy, I had made a large crockpot of taco soup, we added grilled cheese sandwiches and dinner was ready. After dinner, everyone but grandma and grandpa headed for the zoo to see the Christmas lights.
