We’re back home from Seton. Maggie got blood work, an X-Ray and a CT scan done along with some additional pain meds to help get the pain issues under control. Her breathing is a little better but, all-in-all, she’s still pretty unhappy. Her temperature at last check was above 102 degrees. [...]

It was a fantastic trip, full of adventure, green beer, Leprechauns, castles, and Irish-folk. It was a fairly last minute decision to go, too, but we take our opportunities as they come. But this website is dedicated first and foremost to keeping everyone up-to-date with how Maggie is doing. So, here’s the [...]
