Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Wow, good news re the alt levels. Woo hoo

Typical she didn't fancy a chat at first, that made me smile little madam. Fascinating stuff though when you did get going. How reassuring that she knows she has bad days but they don't get her down much apart from pain, let's hope those new herbs you found help with that

Maybe you should start the good things that happen on her thread each day or "Squirtisms" for us to chuckle at. I love hearing about all the pups antics. Wouldnt like it so much if they were mine mind you :eek:

Big hug and belly rubs for Madam Squirt

So no more draws for now! :cool: Even better, the ALT has come WAY down to 119 from over 600 last time! :cool::):cool::):cool: ALP still high at 1132, glucose and T4 are low. They are mailing a copy of the results to me and when I get them I will post them here. Doc said absolutely no more NSAIDS and I passed on the info on Proin. So, for the second time in less than 24 hours, I have been given hope.

The first came from her communicator. Squirt didn't want to talk to her at first - always the regal Queen, she kept wanting to know why she should talk to the communicator and simply wanted the Reiki. ;) But she finally consented to a chat. The bottom line is that she doesn't feel as if her time is now and doesn't understand why I have been so sad and anxious. She feels this is simply the time in her life when she will require more help. She hasn't lost hope nor the will to live. In my angst, my selfishness, I have made her feel bad and confused. Squirt recognizes that she has bad days but offered no complaints other than the pain associated with musculoskeletal issues. It also seems that the issue she has been having with her mouth is related to hypersalivating, tho I haven't seen any drooling, etc. I have noticed her smacking her mouth more especially at night but this excess salivation seems to be part of her eating issue. She told the communicator she didn't know what happened when she collapsed a few weeks ago - she has no memory other than it seemed she was looking into a "pitch black hole"- not falling into the hole, just looking into it. Squirt said she has a more "content" face the last few days, which is true, and sees that my face is happier and more hopeful.

So I have a lot of work to do on ME in order to be the best mom I can be to her. I have somehow got to get control of my emotions and find the strength she needs me to have. I have got to be fully Present in the now.

Hugs,
Leslie and Squirty

That is GREAT news about the significant drop in the ALT!!! So glad our Squirt decided to talk with the communicator and Thank you for sharing what was said. You and Squirt are an inspiration to us all.

Love and hugs, Lori

Oh Leslie,

I am glad she is feeling better. Dont beat yourself up about the Proin
Phenylpropanolamine is some nasty stuff. They used to give it to me years ago when I was first diagnosed with asthma.

We always have hope sweetie, I know how hard this has all been for you. Heck, I gave Zoe a bath yesterday and she got so mad she tried to bit me then Koko. I laughed with joy that she still had her Baby Kujo side.:D:D

Live in the now, Leslie, we have no other choice.

Keep up the great work:D:cool:

I went back to PetCo today and they took back all the things I had purchased the other day as well as a bag of food that Brick has been eating that I got weeks ago. :cool: I got the next size up washable diaper for Squirt. This size isn't as tight around her legs and she would move them but as you will see in the video below, not quite as she normally would. LOL

I tried so hard not to laugh at her but finally lost it. :p

ha! oh my gosh.. priceless.. She looks like a little wind up toy. so sweet. I think Boriss would have just sat down & not moved until I took them off.
She is a sweet girl..

Bless her, she has such a sweet face

I wouldn't have been able to not laugh either with the performance

Good news about the Petco stuff, money back in the pot for the babies x

Hi Leslie,

I am so glad that Petco took back everything! :D

I love the video. Thanks so much for sharing!:D. Squirt was so cute! She moved as if she had a load in her pants! Ha,ha,ha! She had a priceless look on her face, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Hugs,
Kathy an Buddy:)

Ohhh Leslie, someone is NOT very impressed with the whole diaper experience. I would have died laughing too!!
The looks she must give you when you put that on her!
Very happy about the ALT coming down so much. That is great.
You know Squirt, she beats to her own drum, chatty only when she feels like being so.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Aw, what a sweetie, glad Squirt is improving, loved the video!!!

Awesome news on all fronts!
Daisy would've ripped them off and given me the stink eye for sure :)
