Shy's Birthday Party

Here are just a few pics of our "niece's" 6th birthday party. It was a nice party and a beautiful day for it. She got alot of great things for her birthday. I never seen so much Hannah Montana stuff..lol.. I can't believe she is 6 already! I remember when she was born and Oh how small. She is growing into a nice young lady. She is blessed with a great step-mom and dad.

Jake the Great

What I can say...Jake is doing great. He has amazed us and the vets. His blood work came back good and we are on the right track. He is still on on the same meds and dosages. He goes and gets another ultrasound and recheck blood work in a month. All all can say is Praise God and we give Him all the Glory.

Painfully Funny

This is a true story...Friday the 1st I was loading Jake in the van for his vet appointment. I wasn't paying attention when I shut the van door..then...the pain..I closed the van door on my middle finger on my left hand. So, I opened the van door and took out my finger. I went on and took Jake to the appointment. The pain was like nothing else I have had felt before. I told the vet on what happened..she couldn't believed it and thought that I might have broke in because the way I described the pain and they way that my poor finger looked. So, she took an x-ray of it and well it was crushed...she said that there isn't really anything that they could do for that type on an injury she thought that I should just get a splint and let it heal. So, that is what I did. I went to a local pharmacy bought a splint wrapped it up and went on..boy did it ever hurt I thought that that my finger was going to fall off..lol..Well, my husband being the joker that he is..had to make fun of me and my poor finger in the splint. I just let it go..and had to laugh with him a few times. Then on Sunday the 3rd we went to New Castle to visit a member of our church that is in a nursing home and had Communion with him. Scott was putting the Communion box in the van and then the OH! yes o yes he slammed his finger in the van door. Not only the same van door but, the same finger on the same hand as me and yes he broke it too. So, here we are matching splints on our fingers...at least he could finally say that he felt my pain and meant it...lol...I am happy to say that we are healing.

Good News

We got good news when we took Jake to the vet for his 2 week check up. The vet did the ultrasound and looked at his gallbladder which looked better!!YEAH!! It had fluid in it this time which is a really good thing. It was solid last time. It has not shrank any but, we are still optimistic about his healing. The vet took out some of his stitches and seen that Jake wasn't healing to good so, the vet put staples in Jake's belly for a while until the skin all heals together. Thank you for all the prayers. Blessings!

Things Looking Up

Well, things seem to be going in the right direction for Jake. The vet has adjusted his meds some and is now on 800 mg of the milk thistle and the SAMe , 3000mg of flaxseed, 2000mg of Keflex and 600mg Ursadiol. He is eating great and being good ol' Jake. YEAH!! Jake goes to the vet on Friday May 1st to get his stitches out, ultrasound on liver and gallbladder and bloodwork for his liver enzymes. Things have been getting back to normal...well as normal as it can be for us..lol..I well post again soon. Thanks and Blessing and please continue to pray for us.

Sleeping Buddies

Jake is getting so pampered.


The boys chillin' watching the Reds game.

Jake resting. He is doing better. He is eating great. Jake still having a little drainage but seems to be feeling fine. It is so funny to watch him after he has the pain pill, he get so loopy acting and sleeps away. I have to call the vet on Monday about the drainage and to order more i/d can food for him and check in about the other meds and to get the referral info about the clinic that does the gallbladder removal. Keep us & Jake in all of your prayers.

God Bless.
