September 12 Update 2

There is no change tonight. Kirk is stable at 0.75 mg/kg/hr pentobarbital. He will stay at that dose tonight. Hopefully he can have a restful night. I will discuss options with the doctors again tomorrow and we will see what the next step is. For now I am calling it a night and having a date with my husband. Hopefully this one if more restful for us both than last Friday. Good night.

Quote of the Day

Sidney while watching Food Factory on TV "Don't you smoke Tabasco?"

Sidney when asked by a friend to make up a story about shampoo. “There once was a very lonely bottle of shampoo. She was the only bottle of shampoo still at the store because the humans had bought all the other bottles. The lonely bottle of shampoo was sad and hopped off the shelf and hopped away because she couldn’t run, she didn’t have legs. She met a bottle of conditioner and they fell in love and got married. They had a baby and named her 2 in 1."

After visiting the San Antonio zoo and being bored because she has been to too many zoos and seen too many wild animals "We went to the Australian exhibit and they didn't even have a Kookaburra (Australian bird) and that offended me greatly." (Our zoo snob)

In Austria when she and Kimber were going to a wine museum "A wine museum really. What will they have next, a museum for cucumbers."

In Austria when fussed at for being rowdy and irritating "I can't help it, I have been cooped up in a castle all day." All of our practices were in a castle.

At the Gym "Mom there are two bottles in the locker room labeled mouthwash. I mixed some from each to rinse my mouth. There were a lot of bubbles and it tasted bad." One bottle was actually soap mis-labeled as mouthwash. Poor thing got her mouth washed out with soap and she was being good.

Sidney "Is Hungary close to Turkey because if it was, that would be really bad for Turkey."

Sidney's bible trivia "Is the Noah in Noah's Ark the same Noah as in the belly of the whale?"

San Antonio is a military town. There are a lot of military bases here. Sidney "And the Alamo is here."

While passing a semi full of fire hydrants on the way to San Antonio, Sidney "Dogs would be getting into a lot of trouble on that truck."

Kimber brought some snacks back from Norway. Sidney: "What are these?" Kimber: "Bacon snacks." Sidney: "What flavor?"

Sidney: "What is immunity?" Mom: "When you can't get sick from something, like you can't get the mumps because you have been immunized." Sidney: "And Shandy (our cat) has been evacuated." Mom: "I think you mean vaccinated."

Sidney: "Plants eat Hummus". Dad: "I think you mean plant eat pumice. And they don't eat it, they grow in it".

Sidney went to camp the Friday after school ended and was telling me about her experiences that day. She said,"And everyone got a chance to milk a cow." Then she was quiet for a minute, thinking, then asked, "Daddy, can you milk a boy cow?"

Two "religion" quotes by Sidney:

"It should be K-S-B-Yay! instead of K-S-B-J." (referring to the local Christian Contemporary radio station)

Her line from the church musical: "You do have a king - the Great God Yee-hah!" (instead of Yahweh)

Sidney: "Just go with the flow Mom" while making dad a chocolate milk served with a grape on the side of the glass.

Sidney: "Oh more eyes to add to my eye collection in the drawer" each night when a new towel animal was left in our room on our recent cruise.

Sidney when riding the elevator up to my office in Poland: "Mom, I really miss cleaning the elevator at our apartment in Norway. It was fun."

Sidney: "When are you going to buy me that tape bubble gum?"

Dad: "Probably never."

Sidney: "But what if I use my own money?"

Dad: "Still probably never."

Sidney: "But Dad, I am trying to persuade you to do it."

Sidney: "You can't throw my stuff away, it's God's law."

Mrs. Rasen's Quote of the Day: "Let go of the udder, your milking the situation a little too much."

Sidney: "Why do yo always hurt my feelings?"

Mom: "Because you are sensitive."

Sidney: "I am not!"

Sidney after a pause: "What does sensitive mean anyway?"

Sidney's Joke: "If you step in front of a 'tram' you might get 'tram'pled!"

Sidney: "A and earphones."

Daddy: "Those are the Greek letters 'Alpha' and 'Omega' ( Α Ω )."

Kimber: "Were you born in a barn?"

Sidney: "No. Kids are not born in a barn. They are born in the hospital. Jesus is the only one that was born in a barn."

Kimber and Sidney working on fractions:

"If I cut an apple into sixteen parts, what is one part called?"

"The stem."

"Mmmm, it tastes like a sugar sandwich."
Sidney, while eating a Pop-Tart. Is it any wonder that kids love them?

"Don't run in the street after your ball if it goes there because a car may hit you."

"But what if the car smashes the ball?"

"I can get another ball; I can't get another one of you."

"Well, you can ask mommy and she can make another one of me."

"Toot"

One of Sidney's examples of matter of a gaseous property.

"Daddy lions get manes. Females lay eggs and males don't. Oh,yeah, lions don't lay eggs, so how do they have babies?"

We're in trouble now!

"I don't like my t-shirt that says 'I'm not perfect, but I'm really cute.'"

"Why not?"

"Because I am perfect."

Sidney has an ego.

"Daddy, that sign says 'Robert's Carpets', like your name."

"Yes, but what does Daddy go by?"

"Groceries."

"Mommy, 'Grey Poopin' is good!"

"That's 'Grey Poupon'."

Darn French pronunciation!

"I want to taste some of the dried crickets and worms because they would taste yummy. But if we eat them straight away, then YUCKY DIRT!"

Sidney at the Houston Museum of Natural Science entomology exhibit.

"I've played volleyball before."

"When?"

"Remember? Vaulen? You? The girls?"

Sidney and Mom discussing her sports career.
