Everyday I wake up and am thankful that Watson is in my life. He makes me laugh and cry within the same moment. He has the ability to fill my heart with joy and sadness at the same time. I know everyone who has the pleasure of sharing their life with that special little soul  feel the same ups and downs. Cheers to all of you for caring and loving and holding on to the special moments.

Saturday in Texas

Watson heard that Hurricane Harvey had hit the coast of Texas and his ear perked up, thinking we might get to evaluate to Arkansas.

He was a little relieved to find out that we were spared any real damage and only a few rain showers here and there, but just a bit disappointed the road trip to visit the cousins and aunts and uncles to the north has to wait for a couple of more weeks.

Hope everyone in South Texas is safe and no loss of life. Things can be replaced. Have a good Saturday.

A little Bob Marley on This Wednesday with Watson

I realize that Bob Marley was talking about you, as a person, as a society, as a generation,  when he said to ” Light up the darkness”. That we must remember that we are the light and have the power to overcome the darkness in this world, but this boy, my baby Watson, has the power to light up the darkness that exist in our lives and turns on a special switch that fills our days with love and happiness. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday with Watson!20170621_071648

Wednesday with Watson

20170426_075737

Wednesday finds Watson a little annoyed with me. Last week was not a fun week for our boy. Had to visit the neurologist about his brain. Which, in case you are wondering, does exist and I have seen the pictures! Watson has been having seizures and last Tuesday he have a bad one, so they decided to do an MRI and a spinal tap. I was worried that his little brain was going to be eaten up with cancer or cyst. Or maybe he had meningitis. But, no brain damage that is visible, no tumor, no evidence of stroke and no inflammation in the spinal fluid. The boys brain looks good folks, but as a result of his last round of seizures, his eyesight was affected. Blind. But slowly it is coming back. Seems sometimes they get nerve damage to the optical nerve. So, everyday I am poking my finger at him, hoping for a blink. Well, he is blinking and he is tired of me trying to poke his eye out.   Seriously annoyed.  So now instead of 2 , Watson is on 3 different meds to control these seizures. Been hard on my heart!

The shaved leg for his IV has started to itch..looks like a poodle cut to me.20170425_143319

You can see how his back was shaved for the spinal tap. 20170422_132804

God knew this boy was going to need help. God also knew I would take care of him. We were meant to be together.
