Jasper (12 yr old Mini Schnauzer) is now at peace

Yay, wonderful news Tina! Jasper just seems to have these spells, but obviously the over all picture is good.
Now you can have hopefully, a stress free Thanksgiving! :)

Awesome news!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Tina, Jasper and Shelby!

I hope you are having a lovely day. Sneaking in a nap somewhere too!

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. I haven't meant to be absent from the forum, but unfortunately my grandmother (Nana) fell on Thanksgiving evening at her assisted living facility. She had X-rays and a CT scan which have confirmed a fractured pelvis in 2 places on the right side and also a fractured left tibia under her knee. :( Right now they are saying that surgery is not needed. I don't know how well she would be able to tolerate that anyway.

Yes Trish, I am off till Monday for Thanksgiving and was so looking forward to finally getting some rest and just spending some quiet time at home with Jasper and Shelby. Instead I was up almost all night Thursday night and spent most of the day yesterday at the hospital. I will be heading there later this morning also. I am just so tired and feeling discouraged. While I know that things can always be worse, I am having a hard time feeling positive right now. :(

Jasper is eating and seems to be feeling ok at the moment and I am so incredibly thankful for that. I keep focusing myself on that when I am feeling discouraged. I pray he continues, because I will not be able to manage everything with my Nana and him if he starts not feeling good again right now. I don't even want to think about that.

I still want to get Jasper's thread caught up as far as some previous labwork abnormalities, and the histology report from his biopsies. I will do that as I am able. But I just wanted to let you all know what is going on in case I am not able to be around here much in the next few days. You and your pups are all in my thoughts.

I hope everyone that celebrates it had a wonderful peaceful Thanksgiving with family, friends and their pups. I am so thankful for each of you and the incredible support of this forum.

Love and hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

aw, Tina, I am so sorry about your Nana and hope they can provide her some comfort and that she heals soon. I know how awful it is to hear that they have fallen at their age. :( You don't need to worry about updating us on Jasper's labs right now - concentrate on him and your Nana...and yourself. Please take care of yourself most of all. We so many depend on us, we tend to forget about that aspect of our care-taking. ;) We will be here and ready to help any way we can always so don't let the site add pressure, 'k? Of course, if you want to chat anytime you know we always love to hear from you.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

Oh Tina, I am so sorry to hear all of this. My mom fractured her pelvic two years ago, it takes a long time to heal but it can heal. Hopefully Nana will be able to do physical therapy even with the knee problem. Keeping them motivated to do that is key and it is hard at that age, it just sets them into a tailspin. She will hopefully go to acute rehab for a few months. Keep the faith sweetie. I am so sorry you are having such problems right now.

Big Hugs Tina.

Hi Tina, so sorry to hear about your Nana. You have sure had a heck of a year so far. I hope your Nana will heal up just fine. Surgery is so hard for the older folks, so if that doesn't have to happen, then it's much better.

I'm glad that Jasper is doing well and that you can focus on your Nana right now. When it rains it pours right. :) Don't let yourself go down that road of negativity, it's so hard to crawl back out of it. When facing all these really huge issues, the small victory's mean so much more and they are what you can hold on to during the bleaker times.

Don't worry, we'll all be right here any time you need us! :) Now put a smile on, because Jasper is doing well, Shelby is a darlin, and Nana doesn't need surgery :)

Sending you love and hugs Tina!
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Oh no, your poor Nana... so sorry to read that Tina such a nasty thing to happen for her and also for you I bet you feel so bad for her having to go through that. I hope her bones knit together and she heals well and is not in too much discomfort right now.

Well the wonderful good news in your post is that Jasper is doing well and we are out of the nasty months of Oct (Jasper) Nov (Flynn) so everything should be smooth sailing for a while for these boys now :)

You know we are here for you Tina, so go about your days doing what you do so well for your family and we will be here if you need a chat or a dunk in the big chocolate filled spa bath where we all head when times get tough :) xxxx

Hi Tina.. just letting you know I'm keeping you in my thoughts.
