Need Help/Information on Brain Tumors and Strokes

[Lancerella]

Aimee,

{{Aimee & Baxter}}}(hugs to you both).
I've being following this thread with a lot of wet eyes, and really, really praying you get all the strenght you need to deal with the disease.
Just wondering about the liver thing... Did you try to ask the butcher to cut it up? Or maybe you freeze it and cut it frozen? or make a pate of it?
Just a thought, because liver is a very good source of iron ( it must be organic if not stores all the chemicals the animal had in his lifetime....)
Well, don't be sad if you cannot do liver. Chicken gibblets are good also..

Wishing you all the good wished and good health for you and "keep up the good work Bax"
Sending love and prayers,
Karin

Chris,

Thank you for thinking of us

Mr. B is still hanging tough. He had a couple of rough days last week but he is feeling much better this week. I guess we all have days where we just don't feel well. Baxters mug is healing really well, finally! We have started to keep the kids in the rec room in the basement when we are at work during the day now instead of allowing run of the house. This way Baxter has less area to travel, less things to bump into, etc. The furniture is soft and there really isn't much he can hurt himself on like upstairs. I worried about him getting trapped into a corner or behind a door. He has done much better with this arrangement. He simply doesn't have the ability to get around the house anymore which is really difficult for me. Even though he was blind, he still had his independance. Watching him loose that has been tough. But his attitude and willingness keeps me strong! All in all, we aren't doing too bad. Baxter still walks everyday, eats great and sleeps like a log!

We had our annual family Christmas photos taken last Saturday and we also had 3 portraits of Baxter done. I wanted some last photos of him and they turned out wonderful. He is such a trooper. We had a side view of his mug done in black and white, a full view of him and a face foward mug shot. When we get them, hopefully I can scan them in and share them with those of you who would like to see them.

Again, thanks for asking about us!! I'll be sure to keep you updated

I am happy to hear that Mr. B is hangin' tough. Please give him lots of kisses from me...how are you doing. I know how this stuff can wear you down, you & Baxter are both in my thoughts. I also can't wait to see his new pics. I am so happy you had that done, I wished after I lost my first boxer that I had taken more time to do the things that would help me out before he had passed. Keep us posted!
