I did it! Well actually my eye did it. But whoever did it, it worked! The fibrinohemorrhagic clot that has been blocking my vision since last October is gone! In fact, there aren’t even any signs of it! It is completely GONE! My follow up appointment began as it usually does, with my ophthalmologist asking […]

It has been awhile since we’ve shared an update on Asa’s eye. We are not schedule to see his ophthalmologist until September, but we do have good news to share based on personal observations. Asa’s eye appears to be doing very well! Mom accidentally misplaced our orange ball, and reluctantly she took our green one […]
It has been a month since I was diagnosed with kidney disease, so I thought I’d give you an update. As with any major diagnosis, I wanted to get a second opinion. Now don’t misunderstand me, I completely trust my veterinarian, Dr. Heidi. But when it comes to making a radical change to my diet, […]
