Tuesdays Show and TAIL!

A sweet story about a blind dog and a dog that was shot.  A nice story about friends.

Puppy Acts as Seeing Eye Dog for Another Dog - HEARTWARMING from iluvanimals on GodTube.

Well I'm late in answering emails and I'll probably be late in reading posts and I probably won't post for a couple of days.
 
My husband had been having severe headaches for 12 days now and I could not get that stubborn mule into the doctor.  I have been up every night with him as he was in so much pain.  My daughter said he go to go today or she was calling 911 right then!

We jumped in the car heading to the ER and called the doctor - to see where we ended up first.  The doctor called as we were almost there and told us to come on in.

So we got to the doctor's office. Come to find he has a bleed in the brain.  He has a subdural hematoma on both sides - not large, but not small either.  Supposedly those are better than a full fledged aneurism .  The doctor ordered an MRI and an MRA and found it.  So he is in the hospital waiting for a cat scan.  Then hopefully they will be able to tell how how old it is.

If it is old enough they can drill a little hole in his head to release and drain the blood..  That is all I know for right now - but if you keep him in your prayers I'd appreciate it.  I do believe he will be okay. but you never know.

Thanks and love Chatty.

Oh my... I am sorry to hear this news, but I like your positive reply.

It reminds me of words from Psalm 112:7

Wishing you peace and speaking healing for your hubby!
