[Holiday]

What did you end up making?
Hope you & Mom are having a cozy evening!!

I made cheesy beef pie, baked potato's with a broccoli cheese sauce to pour over them & apple crisp for desert - warm out of the oven...with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm We had a very nice night - thanks!

 

[Holiday]

Mmmm...cheeseburger soup!

I agree - one of my favorite filling/comfort soups. Delish!

Good night, all.
I hope tomorrow is an easier day. This week at work has been like working on a conveyer belt ... One job right after another, and often jobs being interrupted for other jobs, until 7 p.m. Even though it will be a busy one, the weekend will be a welcome break from that. I'm very happy to have a good job, but this week it's really wearing me out!

Good evening, friends~

Hope you all had a blessed day!

Harlowe's appointment went well, very informative.

We have an accurate diagnosis! She is not in Congestive Heart Failure yet!
Harlowe has Chronic Degenerative Valve Disease, Cavalier King Charles are prone to this.
Knowledge is power...
We will try to wean her off /slowly remove one of her medications, and check her respiratory rate on a regular basis. I intend to keep her on the heart medicine, as there are no adverse effects to any organs if she stays on indefinitely. And we will do another echocardiogram (ultrasound) on her in about 9 months to see where she's at. Once she progresses to the next stage, we will start her back on her initial heart medicine that worked great but was impossible to administer. The cardiologist can have it compounded & made to be odorless and flavor free. Studies have been done in the last year that change everything! They prove you can effectively treat heart failure before it sets in-before they said it was impossible to prevent progression-this could potentially hold the progression off for 12-15 months! This is huge for an animal, and their family. I am so relieved for more time with my sweetie. I was originally told once diagnosed, life span was 6-12 months. And we are at 9 right now.
God is good! And medicine / science can be pretty amazing, too.

Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers~

Good evening Snowflake. It is always better to know what you are dealing with. Everyday is a gift and I pray yours continues for a long time. My continued prayers for Har, you and your family.
Have a peaceful night.

Goodnight MMC! I think I'm going to watch a little tv before I curl up on Moms couch for the night! Everyone, sleep tight! See you in the AM!

Good evening,

Another day done, it was a long day with a headache that just would not quit.
I am up late again, watched the Bruins win a close game against New Jersey. I love it that hockey is back.
I picked up a Perry Como Christmas CD today for $5, I can't believe I never had one of his Christmas CD's before.

I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

I thought of you as soon as I woke up this morning and came to see if there was any update. It sounds very positive and I am so happy to hear about the progress in treatments for her. This is amazing. Prayers continue for the three of you always . (((((Hugs)))
