Quick update on Izzy

I took Izzy to the vet (thinking for sure she had a stroke) for some tests. The vet decided that she had vestibular syndrome, which basically means she has some kind of inner ear problem that causes her to be dizzy and kinda messed up on one side. The vet, Dr. A, prescribed her a round of prednisone to treat the vestibular syndrome. She will get her last dose of medicine tomorrow and she seems to have responded fairly well. She still has a slight head tilt and ptosis of her left eye, but she is falling down much less. She is able to eat, drink, and play without any problem! We are thankful that the problem seems to be a manageable one!

loving this weather!

Dinner can really wear a little guy out!

Sweet Isabella Gaspard

Our poor baby Izzy has never been the healthiest dog. We adopted Izzy when she was 4 months old. She had been neglected as she was very thin, her teeth were in poor shape and some teeth were missing. She was very skiddish and not house broken. She has a seizure disorder and has to take medicine twice daily. Since Izzy has lived with us, she has grown into one of the sweetest most loving dogs. She loves to play with toys and more importantly eat!! Yesterday when I came home, I noticed that her left eye was swollen and drooping, her head would only tilt to the left, she was having trouble looking to the right, she was falling over to the left, and she was having trouble walking and running. We have called the vet and she is there now being worked up. Please pray that our sweet angel has something treatable and not something that is going to make her quality of life less than enjoyable. She is Bryan's little baby girl and we need her to help get us through this residency! (you can see a picture of Izzy on the right hand side of our blog with her brother Gatsby)

Neurosurgery Boards

Well, it is finally here. Tomorrow Bryan is taking his Neurosurgery boards for the last time and for credit. For those of you who know us, you know that Bryan does nothing but study for this test every year from Christmas through March and really all the time but to a lesser degree. We are very excited that tomorrow evening, he will again become my husband and Noah's father...YAY!!! Please pray that Bryan does well tomorrow. Pray for peace and good knowledge recall. Pray that Bryan will put his total faith in God and remember that God is in control. We are so proud of him and all that he has accomplished! I know that God has big plans for Bryan and will use his abilities to accomplish His will.

WE LOVE YOU BRYAN AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Disney Trip

Bryan's parents took all the kids and grandkids to Disney World for a family vacation this February. We all had so much fun spending time together as a family. We thought Noah was going to be too young to enjoy the trip, but he surprised us and seemed to really get into things. Here are a few pictures (there are more to come). Much love and thanks to Grammy and PawPaw for making this trip possible! We love you!
