Dr. Sisson emailed me that he wants to go even more aggressively this time around with Bailey, so he's extended his thirty mg. per day to four days because his...
Oh Jackie..How I look forward to your daily posts! I love hearing how Bailey is slowly coming back..hopfully 100%! And yes, enjoy every day...that's how I'm...
The one thing we know is that we don't really know (1) what caused this and (2) what will happen. We think we know and we're probably right but only time will...
Hey Jackie, I'm glad things have at least stabilized with Bailey. He sounds like a tough little fighter. Who knows... maybe he can beat this thing after all?...
... rough patch. I know how scary it is and how helpless you feel when our babies are in pain but there is nothing we can do. It is horrifying. I wanted to...
I wrote this the other night, trying to put into words what my journey with Bailey has been like and where it's at now with the future so uncertain. It was a...
Oh, Jackie, You are among the most eloquent on this list. That is so beautiful (although it's hard to type through the tears). What a verbal picture. Donnette ...
I second all that with tears streaming down my face, both sides. That was such a beautifully written and heartfelt vignette. It put into words, in way I...
Jackie, Tears, tears and more tears.....This is such a wonderful story of your journey, your love and your dedication to this little boy who has given so much...
Jackie, I read the mails about people in tears wondering what you had written, now I've read your words, I know why they were in tears! I feel along with you,...
I wonder if the heavy panting could have been a sign of pain. I'm sure happy Bailey is showing some improvement. I hope he keeps it up for both your sakes. ...
Read this..remember my telling you about a little dog who is losing the battle with GME? His mom wrote this...it's a tear jerker... ... From: alvinjb2001 To:...
Hi Sue, I'm so laughing at your "goof" that whoever this was supposed to go to went to the whole group. Good to know it happens to other people! I can...
sorry..I was sending this to a friend who is also fighting a battle with her precious dog ... From: Sue To: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 01,...
I wish her the best and I hope her road is a little less bumpy than ours has been. ... From: Sue To: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009...
arghhh..Jackie! I just realized my error..typical ME! I've been keeping my friend informed of your amazing journey...and I was happy to tell her today about...
Hey! At this point, give em what they'll eat..within reason of course :) ... From: Jackie Burrell To: NewGMEDogs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009...
I don't think Dr. Sisson would mind at all. When Hugo wasn't doing well, he would eat granola, among other things. Dr. Sisson said that was probably good for...
Jackie - This story brought tears to my eyes. I no longer post to the site, however, continue to read everyone's stories. I lost my Tito on 4/1/08 to NME and...
Dear Jackie, I'm so glad you've reached a place where Bailey is not in pain and you have time to reflect. I found that very, very important. As for the...
Dear Jackie, You put in to words what so many of have felt and experienced. Not just with our GME dogs but with all the ones who come into our lives. ...
Thanks for the encouragement. My mom told me the other day I should have put him down if he was in such horrible pain and I said, "Ok... let's see. You were...
I had the same pressure when people said I should put Hugo down. I had to find the moment myself, 6 to 9 months after others said to give up. I wouldn't be...
Jackie, I know you'll do what you think is right for Bailey. No one can make that decision for you. You could not have taken better care of him and Dr Sisson...
Jackie, As I read this it brought me to tears, some of what you expressed here is exactly how I feel with Gidget. Thanks for sharing this with us.. I am...
Jackie, Would you care if I copy this into a Word doc and put it in the files. I think it describes the emotional journey better than anyone has and I'd love ...
Jackie - odd you should mention about eyes. I thought Zefi's eyes and expression looked a bit strange when she was on the pred also. Now she is off she is...
I'm glad you wrote that, makes me feel a little better. Relapses leave you feeling so unsure of yourself thinking, "Should I have seen that? Paid more...
Thank you, I would be honored. GME dog owners are about the only people in the world who don't think I should be locked up with the key tossed a loooooong way...
