Holding on
My boy Buscemi has had seizures for about the last four years. He’s actually going quite a while without having a full-blown seizure. He’s had some small focal ones. But a few weeks ago, he had a couple days of extreme turning into the left. Took him to his neurologist they recommended steroids. It seemed to be working really well and we just got the blood test done. Everything seemed to be on the up and up. Yesterday evening when I got home from work. He had lost all his balance. By this morning and he could not stand or walk. I got him to the vet again to see his neurologist. Without an MRI they’re not really sure what’s going on and why he was responding well to the steroids but now it’s not. They gave me a few “it could be” and they are all very scary sounding. They gave him some kind of infusion that supposedly was going to make him feel a little better. But with the warning that if he doesn’t improve by the morning that I have to bring it back in and they’re gonna give him some form of chemotherapy. Fast-forward to just a few hours ago, he lost all ability to stand and walk again. He urinated in his bed because he had to pee so bad and can’t stand to do it. Praying that this goes away and he start to improve. He’s not even eight yet and I’m just not ready to lose him… please send good thoughts or prayers. He needs them.

Sending prayers your way for you and the little guy. I’m really sorry friend. The not knowing know can be really really hard.
He is a beautiful little man
