Good morning World! Welcome to our home! Our KT Gift Yesterday

DAKOTA
AMPS 374

Boy RocDoc is handing me ugly numbers this week - I have NO idea why those ugly blacks yesterday but I'm not going to even try to figure them out. It likely has something to do with the whole change around here. He's feeling OK, still a bit subdued but we all are right now. He did play for a few minutes last night so all 5 P's are in place.

I didn't realize there were so many things we'd slowly done to make KT's life more comfortable as he became sicker...steps to things that others didn't need, gates to shield carpets from his confused pees/poops, shoes always on their toes so he wouldn't pee in them, no rug by front door as he would pee there the last few months. Cleaning litter boxes 10 times a day because he did a tiny bad smelly poop. Keeping test stuff out on kitchen counter as I tested lots to be sure he was safe instead of handing me a stOOpid low number. I'm still slowly realizing all those things. Some are put back 'right', others I can't yet bring myself to change. I tried to change my signature yesterday but it wouldn't let me add 'GA' behind KT, I've used all the allotted characters...how appropriate as I'm not ready to do that yet, just felt I need to do it. I need to update our profile too - it's missing so much....

Nothing's changed with Dad - still in that same confused state as last couple of days. He did eat and take his meds well yesterday so that made my mother feel better. She's slowly learning to leave him in the nurses hands and go home to rest in the afternoons and evenings. She has major health issues of her own so this is good. She's also slowly rearranged her house back to 'normal', at least got all the medical stuff out of their living room and sent hospital bed/other equipment back to the rental place.

I'm fighting chest yucks trying for it to not turn to bronchitis but I think I'm losing that battle. My cough is awful, have a low grade fever but haven't gone to doctor yet...

HUGS to all that visit today! Extra thoughts and prayers for Juliet (Dr. Schrodinger) going thru cancer with her mother and feeling so lost. Still haven't heard from Jason/Wease so they continue heavily in our prayers too.

Go hug a newbie today!!

Hugs to you! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: Things will never be the same, but a new normal will evolve. I hope Doc's numbers were just due to the stress.

SEnding comforting vines to you all, especially your DM.
 
Re: 8/22 Dakota AMPS 374

Hi Lyresa,
Doc's numbers are already much better. Stress and grief are certainly the cause.
I hope you take good care of your bronchial "event". You don't need that right now. I'm glad your mom is taking some time for herself.

Thinking of you as you find a "new normal". KT will always be there with you, but he is flying free of things like litterboxes and steps.

Lots of hugs and scritches,

Ella & Rusty

p.s. My signature has 20 characters. Try using the &
 
Re: 8/22 Dakota AMPS 374

Doc, let's see if you and Zener can find a lower floor or two. ((((Lyresa)))) What a beautiful and spectacular gift from KT yesterday. :-D :-D :-D Many vines of comfort for you and DH. And many vines for DF and DM. I'm glad your mother is getting some rest even though it must be hard to leave. And many healing vines for you, too, Lyresa. Big hugs.
Liz
 
Re: 8/22 Dakota AMPS 374

How awesome that KT has already visited to let you know things are great and he's safe and well....and in such a spectacular way too!

Now Doc....it's time for you to get serious and bring those numbers down! That AMPS is better than those icky blacks and reds, but we know you can do even better!

I know everyone is having to adjust to the new living situation, and I'm sure it does add some stress factors to his numbers. Hopefully as he grieves and accepts that KT is gone, his numbers will improve too.

Sorry to hear you're fighting the chest ick! Summer bronchitis is tough to kick sometimes! Hope you decide to see your doctor sooner rather than later. You don't need pneumonia on top of everything else Lyresa!

Prayers sent for your family, especially your DM and DF....this is an especially tough time for everyone.
 
Re: 8/22 Dakota AMPS 374

{{{Lyresa}}}

You've been through so much lately, it's not surprising you're getting sick. Please take care of yourself, and do see a doctor soon if no improvement, or if it worsens. You can't take care of your DH and furkids from the hospital!

Sending scritches and safe sliding vines to Dakota. I'm sorry he's still sad, but he'll get a little better every day, and hopefully his numbers will, too.

Prayers for your DF and DM. It's great that she's getting away and letting someone else help some. She needs some time for herself, too.

Hugs all around! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

Yay for :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: !
((Lyresa)), you've been in my thoughts.
Reading about all of the changes you made around your home to help out KT feels all too familiar ~ there are still a few things I have not even 'changed back' yet post-Ripley, and it's been 8 months. I guess what I'm saying is take your time :YMHUG: .

Sending vines to you and your family ♥

I LOVED yesterday's Dragonfly Dance! How magical!

:YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Wow Lyresa, what a wild ride for Dakota today! :mrgreen: Big hugs to the both of you :YMHUG: :YMHUG: KT understood and appreciated all the loving care you gave him, I have no doubt! And I totally get you're not wanting to change your avatar name, I wouldn't do it either. What I am worried about is you, as others have said, you need to take time for yourself, or you will get too rundown. Sending tons of healing and comfort vines to you and Dakota! :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

GREEN DANCE TIME!

Take care of yourself, as the others have said, you can't take care of anyone else if you get sick.
