I like Thankful Thursday - it makes me stop and realize what I have so much gratitude for. The biggest one is R's recovery. We've managed to win back some more romping for him through surgery and then lots of hard work. We smile and smile at his happiness.
It doesn't take much to make him overjoyed - just a stick and some water to play in.
The same is true of Shyla, who has truly found her confidence when playing with her brother. She now wins a lot of the races to get the sticks.
I do still feel worried about Shyla's seizures. She's restless most nights around the time that all her seizures have occurred. We may have to go back to the normal version of Keppra (not the extended release) to get her out of this worrisome pattern.
We're having a warm bluebird day, and we know that a long winter isn't far behind it. So, we're going to try to get to a mountain lake to let the dogs swim and play in the water once more before the snow flies.
Happy Thankful Thursday!
That water looks cold! Glad they can enjoy it before the snow comes.

ReplyDeleteI am sure R is thrilled to be back to romping and rolling. Continued prayers for Shyla. If you can fix R's elbow you can defeat Shyla's seizures

Wow, they just LOVE that water! I hope you/they get a little more swimming in before it's too cold.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have lots to be thankful for. We hope you can figure out a solution for Shyla.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI'm certain that if R could speak he would agree that the outcome was absolutely worth the pain after the surgery and the hard work of his therapy. What a joyous thing.
ReplyDeleteI am smiling from ear to ear! I love this post because I know that joy you're feeling when you see him enjoying his life again! How wonderful for R and you!! And continued good vibes for your beautiful girl too!!
