Hi friends! Happy long weekend to ya! I\u2019m posting Friday Faves on a Saturday because it\u2019s.been.a.week. (Actually a few weeks!) The Pilot finished up three weeks of night flying, so it\u2019s been a lot of solo parenting around here since the girls started school. Earlier the week, I noticed that Maisey\u2019s mouth looked weird. She was showing her \u201clittle teeth\u201d which cracks us up, and I didn\u2019t think too much of it. The next day, she was unable to close her mouth and was having difficulty eating and drinking.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n We took her to vet urgent care, and her bloodwork and vitals were normal. They recommended scoping her nose and throat to see if there was an obstruction, so that\u2019s what we did. They didn\u2019t find anything, gave us an enormous bill, and sent us home with no answers.<\/p>\n It hadn\u2019t improved the next day, so we found another vet who could see her. (We typically use a mobile vet service and they\u2019re amazing for well checks, but it\u2019s impossible to get in for emergency situations.) They were determined to find answers, and took her back so all of the vets in the practice could take a look and see what was going on.<\/p>\n She has trigeminal neuritis, also known as drop jaw, and it\u2019s supposed to be temporary, with a full recovery expected in about two weeks. (Thank goodness.) They don\u2019t know what might have caused it \u2013 it can be an autoimmune response or inflammation \u2013 and it tends to happen suddenly and then go away. I just keep praying that she makes a full recovery. In the meantime, I\u2019ve been blending her dog food with organic beef broth, giving her coconut water to keep electrolytes up, and making sure she gets enough water.<\/p>\n I spent a few nights up worried sick about her, my car also broke (it was a quick fix, but a giant pain), and school and everything has just felt like chaos. I\u2019ve been looking forward to the weekend and some friend time, sleeping in, and getting caught up on life.<\/p>\n I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead and I\u2019d love to hear what you have going on!<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party!
