Animals come into our lives as gifts from God, for companionship, to teach us, and to heal us. They deserve our very best efforts in caring for them.

A Good Day and Night

I am so happy and grateful to report that there have not been anymore seizures since yesterday at 5:21 am. Brady had a great day yesterday. He looked good, his eyes were bright and alert and from all indications he felt very good. We played fetch with his tennis ball for a really long time; he didn't want to quit but I made him take a break and then later went for another round of fetch. He even got to go for a ride to the pharmacy to pick up his new dose of medicine.

Per Dr. Katherman's instructions, I increased his Zonisamide dose by 50mg starting with last night's evening dose. So he will be getting 250mg of Zonisamide in the morning and 250mg in the evening for a daily total of 500mg. Phenobarbital and Potassium Bromide doses will remain the same.

Praying that things will continue to go well and that we will have a long seizure free stretch!
