updates!
Hope everyone had a great holiday. I know we sure did. Glad its over.
Tristan cracked me up when it came to Santa this year. He saw him 3 different times. First time he cried, second time he did good and then cried when we walked away, 3rd time he cried again but laughed everytime someone sat on Santas lap. LOL he was too funny!
Okay, update on surgery.
Tristan will be having surgery on Monday Feb 21st in Cinci. After seeing the surgeon we found out that his hip is not as bad as the other doc made it to be. But in order to keep his hip from being pulled out of socket and to help with his walking skills, spacisity and more Tristan will be having a "soft tissue release" done. This is when they go in and snip his adductor and his hamstring muscles in his leg. They may do more depending on how his body relaxes when he is under anethesia. After this surgery Tristan will be in full leg casts on both legs for 6 weeks! yikes! So this will give him plenty of bonding time with his new dog!
We literally go from 4paws training for 10 days, home for a week, then to cinci for surgery! Febuary is going to be a VERY busy and crazy month for us.
As of right now we are still looking into having his "spit glands" removed this summer as well. Tristan has to undergo some more tests first... I will keep yall updated on that one.
The bacclofen is doing wonders on his spacisity. His arms, hands, and legs are much more relaxed now. Since starting this med, we have seen big improvements in his reaching and walking. His therapists are pretty happy with it! I have him on the lowest dose right now, no need to increase it in my eyes if it is working at this level. As he grows and his body gets use to the bacclofen we will have to increase it. Until then, everyone is happy with where it is!
Currently, Tristan is battling Croop. Lil guy always gets some crazy respirtory bug this time of year. Started on antibiotics and steriods today. So he should be feeling better in time to return to school next week.
We should get his 4paws dog match in less than 30 days! SUPER EXCITED! I will have my phone glued to me more than ever towards the end of January waiting for Tristans special emial from his dog! and i promise to post on here AS SOON as i know!
Thank you everyone for the continued prayers and support. If you are still wanting to help Tristan with his dog, we could use some gift cards to petsmart so he can buy his new pal everything he will need!!
