New Beginnings

Today is our one month Anniversary and here's to new beginnings. Shane changed jobs to a better job with better hours(6-4:30), better pay and better company. I begin a part-time job this week at a department store within a mile from my house. God is good and answers prayers and I'm loving my life!!! Since it's our one month anniversary, I wanted to share our Wedding Photo.

Diesel's Health Update

I hate to write anything about Diesel's seizures due to I don't want to jinx anything; however, this past weekend, I had to take him to the vet to get bloodwork done. They had to test his potassium levels and also his liver to see if the phenobarbital that he takes is damaging it. I got the call today with the results.

The vet said that his potassium levels are "almost" where they are supposed to be to start wheening him off the phenobarbital. BUT, his liver level is slightly elevated and the pheno. may have damaged his liver. I have 2 options:

1. have a liver fasting test to see exactly what is going on with his liver. if it ends up being damaged, they have to immediately take him off pheno. and that can lead him to have seizures because they have to take him off too fast.

or

2. go ahead and start slowly taking him off pheno. and then in a couple of months, test his liver again.

I chose option 2, which is going to be a tetious process. He takes 4 pills a day, 2 every 12 hours. Well, in order to take him off slowly, we have to lower it by 10% each month. That means, 2 pills at 6:30 am and then 1 3/4 pill at 6:30 pm. Do you know how hard it is to cut this pill in fourths?

Anyway, I had to go buy a pill cutter in order to do this; however, he is well worth it. Hopefully, we will get him off this pheno and he won't have any seizures and will just have to take the potassium pill to control his seizures. It's only given once a day!!

Honeymoon Photos

I have finally been able to upload our Honeymoon Photos (all 221 of them) to Photobucket and have most of them titled with a description. Puerto Rico was absolutely beautiful and we have a great time.

I included a link on the sidebar that is titled Our Honeymoon Photos, then you click on the word San Juan, PR. You can also click here and view them.

Now just to scan and upload our 95 Wedding Photos and title/describe them.

We're Back!!!

We're back from our honeymoon in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had a great time and only had rain one day out of the 7 that we were there. I'll be uploading the 225 pictures we took over the next few days and will put a link on here just as soon as I can.

We did fly over Ike on the way home and here's a picture of the eye of the hurricane...pretty neat, huh? How many people can say they saw the eye of a hurricane?
