Adonis: Six Months, Much Love, Happy Tail
I had some seizures out of the blue on Christmas Eve and got rushed to emergency, where I got a spinal tap, I was SO brave! Even though I lost the use of my legs when the seizures happened, it turned out that was only temporary. I was walking fine by Christmas morning! The spinal tap showed no infection in my brain, yay! My foster family was so relieved!
I've made two neurologist friends since the New Year and gotten all kinds of attention! My foster family was able to make a video of me right after I had another short seizure, and they showed it to my care team. Based on that plus my overall history (healthy! wiggly!), I started a trial of some anti-seizure medicine because I most likely have epilepsy. I'm overjoyed to update that I haven't had any more episodes since I started taking the medicine. I have more energy (check me out as boat Captain!) and even learned to play fetch!
I'm so grateful to have the love and support of my awesome foster family and all of you! It'd be pretty lonely without people who care about me and want to help me have a great life. Promise you'll never give up on smiling, even when times are hard. There's always a way to be transformed — just look at me!
Love,
Adonis
