One Year NED

April 3, 2015, CIC Momma, Uncategorized, , 24

Hello Troops! Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary that our Jillian was declared NED! Such sweet words, no evidence of disease. We celebrated this milestone with a special night at Chuck E Cheese. She has been asking to go there for over a year and now and it seems like now is the best time to give her this treat. She even made a new friend there!

I apologize for failing to post yesterday as the day of celebration was tarnished slightly by the loss of our beloved dog Sahvin. 

Sahvin was our mischievous, blue eyed princess. I fell in love with this wild Siberian Husky 15 years ago when I adopted her from the shelter. But she lived to be 16 1/2 and had a great life. My heart literally broke yesterday when we had to make “the decision”. Multiple seizures left her unable to maintain any quality of life. The girls are coping with her loss in their own way. Jillian said, “oh Sahvin died? She is gone? Poor Sahvin” and continued on playing. Sienna took it a bit harder. She had a special bond with this dog. But she seems ok knowing that Sahvin has gone to heaven and is reunited with her brother Hasek whom we lost right after Jilli was diagnosed. Now we just have our Roxy dog; she will be spoiled rotten.  It has taken it’s toll on me in ways I didn’t expect. I had gotten so used to giving daily meds to Jilli and Sahvin. Now, with Sahvin gone and Jilli no longer on any medications, I am contstantly feeling like I am forgetting to do something. 

I am trying my best to put and end to two chapters of life and focus on a new one. A chapter with only one dog (for now) and a cancer free life. Back to trying to find another “new normal”.  Life is all about change and we all have to learn to adjust. I thank you all for your continued love and support. Now let us move forward and conquer the day!

Salute!!!!
