Giardi Round Two

Well since the last post, I have finished school, have Nelson back with me, and am just trying to reorganize my life and relax a little bit from the most intense semester I've ever had. All the while trying to prepare myself for the next semester which will without a doubt be the most intense semester by far.
Since getting Nelson back last week he started to get the same Giardia flare up. This is common, and it is common that animals will need more than one round of treatment to get rid of Giardia. So far the medicine seems to be helping which is great.
Nelson and I are also trying a new sleeping arrangement - him on the floor, me on the bed. There area couple reasons we are starting to do this. The main reason being that Nelson would prefer to be on a floor because it is much cooler for him. The reason I haven't let him sleep on the floor yet is because I didn't think he was mature enough to not chew my entire room while I was sleeping. The other reason for me wanting him to be on the floor is that he is now 65 lbs and is taking up almost the entire bed!
So far its been quite an adjustment for him to sleep on the floor. I have not been getting much sleep because he thinks because he's on the floor he can scratch on the door every time he wants to go out, which last night was every hour! I'm hopeful that he will start to see being on the floor is the same as being on the bed, and it means sleeping all night!

We hope everyone is doing well, staying warm, and enjoying December!

With Love, Nelson & Ellen
