It is Margarita Time!!!

I hope you, the hubby, Zoe, and Koko are enjoying the weekend!!!

Oh, thank you all so very much for your encouraging words and support. Your posts bring such big smiles.:D:D:D

Today is the seventh day Zoe has only had metronidazole one time per day in the am. She snuck a crab apple outside with no ill effects. She is active and happy and last night totally blew me away by jumping on the sofa in the den OMG she has not done that since last November. I don't know if she will do it again but one time brought shocked smiles to me and hubby.:):):):):):):)

I don't know what tomorrow brings but today we live in the present.
I soon have to make a decision about her dose. Have been trying to put it out of my mind and just enjoy her for now.

Happy Labor Day!!!!

Hi Addy,

I feel like I'm right where you are-so happy with little things, like a jump onto the couch, or an uneventful stretch with no major problems. I am such a worrier by nature, and tend to end up focusing with what might be wrong instead of what is right, so I have really worked to change my mindset about Hannah. I try to focus on her mood-if she's happy, I should be happy, as well as the little things, like jumping up on the furniture. I am glad you put the decision about her dose out of your mind for a while. It's hard for some of us to do that, but I'm sure it made that time more calm and enjoyable for you.

YAY, ZOE!!!!! A jump on the couch AND a crab apple snack with no problems?! Good stuff!!

Continued success and happiness

Hi Addy - Hope you had a good Labor Day weekend!!! How is Zoe doing over the past few days? Hope well!! We are having alot of rain so Penny is so so right now - Rain till thurs! ugg! Fill me in when you have a chance!!:)

Hi Cindy,

I heard about all the rain you are getting.:(:( Hopefully the sun will come out soon. I also hope Penny is okay. I was thinking you have a stim this week. Maybe I remember it wrong. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Zoe is fine. She has been running around the house tonight playing with her Kong just as happy as can be. We have made it over a week without the pm dose of metronidazole. She has a bit if a poo tail as a separate poo piece today but I am going to try to wait it out as long as her poos do not get worse. I have gone this far, I'm going for broke:D:D She is awake and alert when I get home from work. She is like she was before we did the 20mgs and she did not feel good.'

That is the part I still don't get. From the way she was acting I would have thought her cortisol was down. She just was not right those 2 weeks up until that day before her stim. She started acting a bit more normal and was up and about that day.

I am really glad I did not increase her dose back then because this time gave me a chance to reevaluate her behavior with the hearing loss. I don't notice it quite as much (the hearing loss)because she is more active.

Hugs,
Addy
