My boy is feeling much better today. His creatinine was off the roof at 910 umol/ (ideal range at 60-150) His urea was 48.9 umol/L (ideal range 3.6 - 8.9).

He needs his IV every day this week alongside phosphate binders, probiotics, calcium carbonate, vitamin B complex. And gastric and anti nausea meds in the morning.

I’ve got a mini apothecary going on, crushing all his meds and mixing it with either honey, baby food (fruit puree) or blended carrot and cucumber juice to syringe it in.

The hope is to bring his CKD stage down, from end stage - stage 4 to a stage 2 level which gives him a few more months. Whether his body is reacting positively we will know at the end of the week. But thus far he is much better.

If and when my dog no longer responds to the meds, I won't stress him up anymore. Until then we do what we can to make him feel better. But the fact that he trust me entirely with his life puts one in a diff state of mind.

We went to the park yesterday. I drove over and although he walked a short distance of 30m walk, he was a happy boy.

Lessons from my dog this week - can’t let fear control you. His fear of thunderstorms messed him up badly. And because the heart, gut, kidneys are all interrelated, hypertension has a domino effect. I’m building a mini wearable to measure his stats daily and halfway through soundproofing the room.

Lesson no 2 - Find joy even in toughest moments. I love how even the simplest thing like going out for his morning sun puts a smile on his face despite everything he is feeling.

As for this girl, weekends are when all the tiredness from the week comes crashing in and your body shuts down. But this weekend is going to be a ‘catch up on work’ weekend.

My routine now is to be up by 3am to work while the boy sleeps. I’ve got 6 days to several major datelines so it’s going to be quite a mad week ahead.

Hope everyone has a good rest and a great week ahead. Take it easy you’ll ❤️

This week’s favorite captions -

Live with intention and gratitude

When the chase ends, the routine begins

Once you start seeing results, the grind becomes addictive

It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving

Set aside some time everyday to daydream and see how effective the week is.

Never reply when you are angry, never make a promise when you are happy and never make a decision when you are sad

Good...morning ...🫂☕️🤙

BULL MARKETS ARE OFTEN BITTERSWEET FOR MANY.

MOST OF US LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF A STACK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN.

MISTAKES. REGRETS. BAD TRADES. SHIT HAPPENS. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO STACK AND DO BETTER GOING FORWARD. STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS.
