A NOTE FROM MOM BEAGLEBRATZ

Surgery is over and improvement has started however it is going slow.  In addition to the cornea transplant the doc also added a layer of stem cells.  These stem cells are used to strengthen and hopefully will make the cornea healthier.  These stem cells will soon be absorbed into the cornea however due to the paralysis on that side of my face - making the blink reflex not as effective - rven tho the cornea will be protected a little bit longer it also means the blurriness will last a little longer.  Oh well, I have already had to go through several months of waiting - what's a few more weeks, especially since it will help the cornea in the long run.  I have been staying at my sister's since surgery but starting yesterday I am home during the day and spend the nite over there - and the Beaglebratz are with me.  When I got ho,e the day after surgery, Shiloh stayed by my side almost constantly with Shasta close by.  She has developed into quite a playmate with my sister's Westie, Beilie - my sister got some good pics of those two playing together and I will post them when I can.  Ok, need to go for now - will be bak when I can and so will the
B-bratz.

jHere we are again

 Howdy all - Shiloh here rite now.  First I gotta tell ya about my little sis, Shasta - she dun me proud tuday, well kinda.  It wooda bin better if she had shared with me but I never share either.  Mom wuz makin a sandwich an/I guess Shasta thought it wuz fer her cuz she made off with a slice of bread.  Did not think she wood du that but she proved me wrong - ohly wooda bin better if she had let me haf sum.

Herd mom tell aunt sis that she felt like a chiken with itz hed cut off -cuz she wuz so excited about Tuezday.  Well me an'Shasta r just glad that mom wuzn't  a real chikem.  By the way, mom sed we B-bratz r goin fer a "spa day" tumorrow - mom sed we need tu git bootified - not shure what all that meanz but I no r bootyz r just fine the way they r.

Shasta here now - what iz this thing with the niknamez?    Now mom iz callin' me goosy-loosy,   Now if u ask me, she iz the one who iz goosy.  An'since when r we B-bratz drumz?  Sumtimez when mom iz sittin'by us an'we r all listenin'tu musik, mom startz tappin'on us - at least she don't uze them stiks they uze fer drumz - just her fingerz. 
Well mom iz callin' fer me an'hiloh tu go outside.  I will say g'nite now frum me an'Shiloh.

Note from mom - Okm ao I'm a little excited - well ater almost 6 months total, I am so BEYOND ready for this to end.  The cornea transplant will be around 2:30 this Tuesday afternoon.  The surgery will be an outpatient procedure in Kansas City(Overland Park).  Along with the transplant, the surgeon is adding a layer of stem cells that he is hoping will aid in healing - stronger and healthier.  Mu sis and I are staying the nite at a nearby motel because I have my first
post-op appointment at 9 the  next morning then hopefully get to do a little shopping before we come home however that depends on what I hear from the doc.  My vision will still be a little blurry for a few days due to the stem cells but they are suppose to adhere into the eye within 2 weeks or so.  So I am not sure when I will be back - hopefully before the 2 weeks are up.  The doc says my vision will be like having a sheet of wax paper over my eye - like I told my pastor, I can deal with a sheet but it/s the box I am looking through now that I can't handle.  Will be bak when we can. 

Hey all, we iz here!

Shiloh here - I gotta tell ya'll sumthin' - it'z gittin' a little crazy around here at timez.  A few  daze ago mom came home afta bein' gone awhile an'wuz real happy an'started dancin' around  an'made me dance tu an'got Shasta all excited an'runnin' around an' mom sed "itza go!"   I found out that she had gone tu c her docter an'he wuz really happy about no nu problemz, whatever that meanz.  This mornin' she  told me an'Shasta she haz only 10 more daze, whatever that meanz.  But she did say sumthin' tu me an'Shasta I du no about -  mom sed that she will bring us sumthin' frum 3 Dog Bakery the next time she goze c her eye docter - me an'Shasta got sum surprizez frum them when Santa Paws stopped by - I wunder if mom iz gonna talk tu him agin - I bet she tellz him how really good we bin.  I gotta stop fer now - fer sum dumb reezon Shasta thinkz she haz tu tell ya sumthin'.

Anuther reazon we iz bored iz b-cuz it haz bin NOT very warm an'so wet outside fer soooooooo many daze. Mom duzn't like it either.

One neat thin- when we du go outside in the bakyard -there iz an old plastik swimmin'pool an'now it iz turned over.  Us Beaglebratz haf bin prakticin'r huntin'skillz around it cuz we smell sum really good smellz there - we think that may- b even a bunny iz tryin'tu uze it fer hidin'.  We iz duin'a really guud job of warnin'mom an'the ne-ayberz about the possible invader.  Ok - time fer r erly afternoon nap so we will be talkin'tu u'all later.

Beaglebratz here.....

Shiloh here now - We had a late breakfast tuday but it wuz shure werth the wait.  Mom topped off r  kibble with cottage cheeze. a few blueberrriez an' a ittle shredded cheeze sprinkled over it all - yum yum.  Mom triez tu du sumthin spechial fer r mealz almost efery day - not as much as we Beaglebratz wood like but just a bit tu make it spechial.  Mom sez we Beaglebratz wood eat 24/7 but me an' Shasta noze that ain't true b-cuz we need r time tu sleep an'patrol the yard fer intruderz, espechially now since mom can't c so good.  We herd mom say yesterday that she iz now counting the daze to her surgery - she sed yesterday that she had 46 daze.  When she woke up this mornin'she sed now it wuz down tu 45 daze - well  DUH!  It duzn't take a roket scientist guy tu figur that 1.  Well Shasta iz over here, dancin/around like she needz tu go out but she keepz sayin' let me let me- I wish mom wood git me a 'puter of my own but I no that ain't gonna happen so I guess I will share which iz more than  she duz with the toyz.

Shasta here now, FINALLY!    Anyway, me an'Shiloh got tu ddu sumthin'the other day that we hadn't dun in a loooooooong time an'mom wuzn't even with us. Any, the neighbor guy an'his wife haf a little boy named Roman - mom sez he is 6  yearz olk.  They came by a couple daze ago an'knocked on the door an'asked mom if anyone wanted tu go tu the dog park - OH BOY!  DID WE EVER!    Me an'Roman played all over an'forever.  An'of corse Shiloh just had tu find the one hole in the fence while he wuz dduin'hiz uzual perimeter chek but that neighbor guy iz fast an'tall so Shiloh didn't staay loose vvery long.   I'm gettin'tired just thinkin'bout all the runnin'we did.  We herd mom an'the neighbber guy talkin'an he sez he wantz tu du it again.  YEA!!!!  We Beaglebratz will b bak sumtime.
