Good intentions on these updates are just that I\u2019m afraid. With my days about 7 hours too short I miss quite a bit lately. Sorry.<\/p>\n
Chloe has seen extremely limited improvements\u2026 none according to her. However, I have noticed her speech greatly improved, along with her mobility. Seldom is the time when the crutch is taken away from the house. Usually it\u2019s only as a visual to others so they will give her room.<\/p>\n
A very sad week just past as Chloe\u2019s little Jack Russell lost her battle with cancer and had to be put to rest. Dana, Chloe and I were there as Ivey said goodbye to us. Colin was in Canada with Aunt Sandy but came home the next night to a very sad house. The extent that Ivey kept Chloe alive, and relieved stress for Dana, Colin and Chloe, can Not be over stated. She was truly a gift to them all.<\/p>\n
So, the focus now is on finding an eight or nine week old Jack puppy. If you have a lead on a new litter, the order is for a \u201csmooth coat, mostly white, female Jack Russell puppy.\u201d Not the \u201cshort leg\u201d version though. The local litters seem to be a ways off, but we don\u2019t want to get one sight unseen. So I guess we\u2019ll have to wait.<\/p>\n
The hours before the last vet visit for Ivey found me really asking deeply for Chloe to be able to produce tears. She has cried since the stroke, but nothing runs from her eyes. What I noticed in those last moments with her prized pup, was her eyes welling up. That\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve seen that. Apparently she has had a one tear episode recently. That\u2019s a start!<\/p>\n
The Positive Changes Hypnosis Clinic has been working diligently with Chloe on a variety of things. We are all impressed, and happy, with the results to date. She seems to be more relaxed\u2026 up until this past couple weeks\u2026 and, I believe, we have seen a better sleep pattern. Amy, Cheryl, Tanya, and the rest of the team over there have given a huge gift to us all, and hope for more and more improvements.<\/p>\n
And Dr. Steve has been keenly focused on new directions to get Chloe\u2019s swallow back. Dana keeps letting people know that we don\u2019t want the same old thing every week. Let\u2019s find something that is going to work!<\/p>\n
Be well,
