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.

Appointment with Neurologist

Today Brady went for a visit with Dr. Katherman. He had blood drawn to check Zonisamide and Potassium Bromide levels. Brady is doing really well at this time and all of his current medication will remain the same for now. All of his ataxia has disappeared after the reduction of Phenobarbital on 2/16. He is once again steady on his feet, well-balanced and coordinated. Thankfully, he isn't a 'little drunk sailor' any longer. He can jump on the bed and travel up and down the stairs without losing his balance, stumbling, or falling. At this point, you really can't even tell that he is on medication as there are no noticeable side affects. We can't wait for the yard to dry out so that he can get back to his ball playing. I will post the results of his blood work once they are in. At the doctor's office, his stats were good, temperature normal, his weight is 40.5 lbs.

Things are looking good and we are praying that he will have continued success and seizure control. We are so very thankful that at the present time we are smooth sailing! Thank you God! Thanks to everyone who always asks about Brady and also for your continued prayers and concerns. It really means the world to us to know that others care.
