Bad seizure day..and all through-out the night.

As some of you may or may not be aware, Ami has had a very difficult month with fighting the monsters.  He has had well over 20 seizures this month, and they have now gone into a daily clustering occurrence.  The Vet and I have tried everything in the book to get it to stop (like it has before)..but this time..the seizures just won't let him go.

We have been to our Vet checked all his blood levels, CBC liver toxicity test etc..everything is normal. We are at a loss..

The University of Guelph called back our Vet and said, little else can be done at this point other than doubling up on the Keppra.

They do not want to use a PB drip..as they are afraid he will go toxic as he is maxed out on the PB and KBR according to his bloodwork.

They were quite open and honest (and so were two other neurologists) that Ami's body can not handle anything more at this point, and it is of their opinion it is probably a tumour (perhaps as a result of the blunt force trauma to his head when he was a pup) which would be inoperable anyway at this late stage..They did not recommend even the trip to get the MRI.

Ami's primary Vet who has loved him and cared for him since he came to our Sanctuary gave us her cell and home number for this weekend, in case things get worse and we must send him to the Bridge, she will come over to our Sanctuary where we will hold him in comfort.  Obviously I do not want this to happen, and am pretty much in complete denial, however just a tiny piece of my brain realises I may have to call her.  I pray that this doubling of the Keppra will work, however I also realise it will be a temporary band-aid if it does.

If this must happen (and I know it will someday soon)  his ashes will be returned to us and we would like to invite people to the Sanctuary where we will have a service for Ami to celebrate his life.  I am also planning on getting him a foot-stone to "mark" just how much he has impacted my life, and the lives of just about everyone who has met him, or not.

I guess over my time with Ami, I have come to depend on him as much as he depends on us..each and every animal at the Sanctuary is special, but to be honest, Ami is the one that has gobbled up a large portion of my heart.  It hurts me so much to see him trying to battle this dreadful condition.

Ami can hardly stand up and he has the "I'm tired" look in his eyes sadly I can see now just how tired he really is....

Will keep you posted..

Ami 80lb, 5 yr old black lab,grand mal/clusters, 300mgPB, 1280mg KBR, and 2250mg Keppra daily.

I have been sending healing to Ami for some time,this however was a situation of life or dead.I read the mail around 11pm that night and immediately started working in distance on Ami.First I removed all blocks for healing to stop his seizures,then I balanced all his energy centres and added the colour the body was in need of.I worked on Amy about one hour and prayed he would make it trough the night.The next morning I spoke to Kelli and was told,that Ami had had one very different seizure around midnight,but so far so good.This is my third day I am working on Ami, mornings and nights, monitoring that his Chakras stay balanced,and I am happy to report !!!.

The latest update on Amy came today...

Well our boy has been seizure free for 48 hours (knocking on wood very hard!!)  He is pretty dopey but appears to be coming out of it.

We also have an animal communicator/healer working on him, which is helping a huge amount. She felt that he had "two blockages" which were causing the problem as well. Thanks, Karen !!!!

Again I cannot thank you all enough for your support, care and concern.  I honestly do not know how I would have kept my sanity over the past five days without you all and your support.

Let's keep prayers going that this will continue and Ami will continue to heal.
