Happy New Year

Hello,

Bruce wants you all to know that he is feeling much more himself now and that he should be able to write to you all again (God and epilepsy willing) very soon. In the meantime, we wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.

with love,

Bruce Again

Hi everyone,

Well, Bruce had a fit free night (hooray!). We did up his dose of Epiphen slightly (vet permitted) which stopped the fits but didn't stop the pacing, or stop him from standing over me and panting in my face for aeons or circling the chair I had moved to so that he couldn't pant in my face...so I am exhausted.

This morning, Bruce had his morning cuddle (which he was too agitated to do yesterday). We had to go through the palaver of him sicking up the tabs and me getting them inside him again (I'll spare you the details) and he has gradually come back to himself during the day. When we got home from his walk HE WENT TO SLEEP so I did too (aaaaaaah! Bliss!) and when he woke up he rolled on his back and showed off his tummy and smiled a cheesy smile and I almost burst into tears because he had turned into my boy again.

regards,

Healing Thoughts Needed

Please send calming and peaceful thoughts to Brucie - he fitted the night before last and has fitted 5 times today so far. Vet says that as Bruce has been sick a couple of times an hour after his tabs, his blood level may have dropped so we have given tabs and fed together. Also, Mike said he can have the dose put up if he doesn't settle but none of this want to do this as it would eb a very high dose and so sedating it would affect his quality of life (some of you may remember we tried this before and it was horrible for him - and us).

It's not fair, we take advice and do all the right things by him and it still happens - epilepsy is a b*gger, huh.....

thanks for letting me share....
