The past month
It’s been a roller coaster ride the past two months! Life has just been so busy.
To radiate or not?
One of our treatment options for Lilly was radiation. Something, I would not even do myself.
Diagnosis Day 3 & 4
Lilly is a tough little cookie. She still does not seem sick.
Diagnosis Day 2
Lilly can’t possibly be sick. This has to be some twisted joke, right?
Diagnosis: Day 1
Lilly was diagnosed with Cutaneous Lymphoma on July 10, 2017. It still seems unreal. She doesn’t act sick. She doesn’t act like she’s in pain.
Cutaneous Lymphoma
“I don’t believe she has autoimmune. I strongly believe it’s cancer. Epidermotropic lymphoma or cutaneous lymphoma. It’s also uncurable.”
Okay, well fuck you.
Patient Lilly
Lilly has always been the life of the party and has always made herself known when she’s in public.
Whenever we go anywhere, I have to beg her to not embarrass me before we get out of the car. “Please do not embarrass me today Lilly. Please hold it together”
She never listens.
Angel Parents
I have Carole and Cal to thank for everything.
Lilly’s first family. Lilly’s first real taste of what love was.
Dog Diabetes
Diabetic dogs are special dogs. They require more love and attention. Although, when well regulated, diabetic dogs can live a happy, normal life. Life for the owner is dramatically changed.
Thank you
Dear Mom and Dad,
Thank you for these past 5 years. Thank you for allowing me to be selfish and focus on working and school while you looked after Lilly.
