SO, my echocardiogram showed not only no further damage to my heart function, but a 10% improvement!
Treatment was resumed immediately, and onward we go. I will now only see my doctor every other visit, and we will continue with treatment indefinitely, OR until I start to notice shortness of breath, or swelling in my feet, i.e. heart failure.
I guess I am sort of still a guinea pig....but we shall see.
Next echo, and scans, in December.
On Monday evening of this last week, the whole family (including Carlos), and extra helpers, showed up next door, with trucks and a trailer.
I watched the mom, with my own eyes, catch and carry the dog into the house. The little girls were squealing with delight--hopefully excited that they could have their third doggie back with them again.
I contacted the city, the investigation was called off, and I've donated the food to a dog shelter.
All last week, there have been crews at the house, taking stuff away (our guess is to the dump), and working on the inside of the house.
Yesterday, they mowed the back yard, which had not been done in months.
There is no dog there.... (we were worried that they had merely put him inside when they caught him on Monday night, but no, they took him.... somewhere.) Our hope is that he is back with his doggie sisters, and the little girls who clearly care a LOT more about him that the parents.
It's a burden off of our hearts, regardless. I hadn't realized how stressed I was about it until I burst into tears upon seeing him in the female adult's arms.
Not much else to report.... the weather has broken, so we are going for a walk in the "woods" this morning.
Have a good week!
