02/03/12 --His body feels on and off warm. We are praying for a healing on the fever. We are also praying that his glucose levels don't go high and we are also praying that his kidneys are working fine (his last blood test shows that his kidney was slightly stressed).
It's been a yo yo effect on me, one moment I am glad especially when his body is cool and then when his body warms up I get slightly depressed. BUT I must continue to have faith and trust in our Lord. Everything is in HIS Hands. He knows the future and He controls everything. I will keep praising God during good times and not so good times. I pray He gives me the strength and courage.
I am a nervous wreck right now. I worry too much. Yesterday I told a friend of mine to give all her worries to our LOrd and that He will take care of it and look at me now, worrying till I can hardly breathe (breathing through my mouth now). Junior looks ok except for a slight warmth. I SHOULD NOT worry! Worrying doesn't change a thing. I must just pray, but how much harder can I pray than I am doing right now. I must have FAITH and TRUST. Yes TRUST Him totally. Totally!!!
2339 hrs -- Fever has gone down. Praise Almighty.
03/03/12 --I am feeding him flaxseed oil and quark (a sort of cottage cheese???). Alex happened to buy a different brand of quark from another supermarkt. So I concluded that that particular brand of quark doesn't suit him. He started getting warm. Just like previously when we gave him low fat cottage cheese and he had fever (meaning the cancer is working????). So yesterday Alex bought the one from this german supermarkt and after 2 feedings his fever went down. Praise God.
Looks like he is able to take quark that is sold in 2 supermarkets. Anything else don't seem to work.
He has this little tumor on his right leg between the elbow and paw, it's pea sized. When he has fever that pea sized tumor grows but when his fever is down, that tumor practically vanishes to just a line. I remember telling Alex last year about this particular bubble/bumb. He as usual says that all dogs have this sort of bumbs. Oh well. Now it's important that I keep giving him his flaxseed oil and quark and pray that our Lord blesses him with remission.
I normally give him 2.5 teaspoons of oil the whole day but I am going to increase to 3 teaspoon for a few days. I was afraid to give too much in case his pancreas is affected with too much of oil. May our Lord bless me in this addition of oil and that when I give to him that he doesn't get any problems. Bless me as I make it Lord, Bless Junior as he consumes the concoction oh God.
05/03/12 -- He is ok the past few days (after the fever). He is being pampered and loved and doted upon by both his dad and mom.
I increased his flaxseed oil a teeny weeny bit and praying that it keeps the tumors away. Those tumors are not wanted in his and our lives.
08/03/12 -- Junior is EXCELLENT these last 2 days. Prior to that he had a very slight fever but that was gone hours later. He eats (soupy food, since he still doesn't touch his water since a month ago), plays and sleeps. Some days he has more energy than others. He is looking and behaving better than 2 years ago I should say.
He is still fed meat (cooked for a few minutes to kill any bacteria), raw vegetables such as, courgette (zucini), cabbage, brussels sprouts, capsicum, spinach, broccoli, small piece of ginger. He gets vegetables at least in 2 meals a day. Then the rest of the day I might give a small piece of meat in a bit more water in case he is thirsty. He still gets his Flaxseed oil and Quark combo. I am now keeping it at 2 teaspoons of oil for the whole day. Supplements are 1 capsule turmeric and 3/4 capsule Milk Thistle. Once a week he gets a teeny bit of Omega 3 capsule (I puncture a hole in the capsule, squeeze some out for Junior and Alex consumes the rest). I don't want to overload his pancreas???
He poops normal colour now and his urine seems to look like light yellow. I hope his kidneys are working fine. Also that he doesn't get high glucose readings. But looking at the way he behaves I think he is fine with regards glucose levels. We try to keep him active after meals, to burn some glucose *smile* ....
All Glory, All Praises be to Almighty! Thanks to all of you who kept us in your prayers this past month.
My time in the kitchen has lessened because I used to give him 5 times half teaspoon of flaxseed oil and the Quark (washing up after that). Then maybe about 6 times with his food, every 3 hours (washing up again *smile*). But these last couple of days I wash less because I give him 2 dose of Flaxseed oil (every 12 hours) and 3 meals spread through out the day (but in between I do give him that water with a piece of meat). I have to time everything so that I don't give him his food too soon (for the glucose in blood sake).
09 -03 -12 -- I have reduced his FOCC to 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil per day
11- 03 -12 -- Junior is doing well most of the days since March except for 2 days with slight fever and yesterday he was slightly warm. Alex prayed over him and the fever went away soon after.
11/03/12 -- End of week 8??
