A Quick Update on a sleepy Sunday

Since last posting we have had another long road trip from KS to FL and back. The trip down really took a toll on Thor. He just looked uncomfortable and walked stiffly. I am thinking this may have been his last long trip. He is sleeping a lot, but otherwise is a happy go lucky boy. He has a great appetite, and will work up the energy to chase a chipmunk. He did have a focal seizure while we were gone where his head shook, but some peanut butter stopped it. It was the first time my mom had seen that and it upset her. Thor used to have the frequently before he went on his thyroid medications. Since then he has maybe one or two a year. Giving him a little bit of peanut butter clears them up quickly. I don't know how or why, but am glad it does.

I will be calling Missouri University to set up a follow up appointment for Thor's Holter monitor. His last one was scary and he is on new medication as well as had his old meds increased. Hopefully they have decreased the number of irregular heartbeats. I will update when I have the results.
