The end of classes (so far,) Haku's blood tests, and some Kung Fu stuff

[la_belle_laide]

So, here is the rest of the story with Haku's blood test results.

His T4 is 6; normal is 8-40. So that is very low! This could eithe rbe caused by phenobarb, and/or it coul dbe causing his seizure threshold to lower, as well. Either way, it looks like more phenobarb might not be the answer. At any rate, I'm not rushing into it. He's going on thyrotabs, a low dose, which doesn't have side effects. And he's got a thyroid panel next time in 4 weeks. Let's see if this works!

In other news, my Hula class is finished up until after Labor Day. That's it, then; summer is nearly over. Less than a month left. Only one dancer from this class is able to return. She's bringing a few friends for the next session, too.

So, here are some stills from videos of our last (so far) class:


I like to set up and practice alone before the students get there. :D













In that last one, one of the girls had brought some friends and family, and so we did an impromptu "recital" for them. Then the two dancers high-fived and said, "YAY, WE DID IT!" It was really cool. ^_^ I had such a blast teaching, and I'm already planning what the next hulas / lessons are going to be.

Now we're bracing for this hurricane, which had really better not hit on Sunday, because that's the day of the Bai Shi ceremony, ffs. Tuesday in Kung Fu we did sparring, mad, crazy, intense sparring, 27 rounds. I didn't sit a single one out. I love sparring. :D We're doing more of it Sunday before the ceremony, too. So I've got to remember to bring a change of clothes for the restaurant afterwards. Gonna be a box of frogs, this one. Well, if the storm holds off. Expect tons and tons of pics, of course!
