Cast Off and Adoption

Macayla had her cast removed on Monday. She is stiff in the elbow and a bit sore, but good. Unfortunately, we think she had a seizure Monday afternoon/evening and she just had another a few minutes ago. She will hopefully stay passed out for a while and have no more. But we are glad the cast is off and she can get back to moving her arm again. She may never regain full extension, but that is o.k.
In the meantime, we have adopted a one-year-old named Lily. She is beautiful and her hair is almost white and she has beautiful dark eyes. She also has four paws and a tail!! She is a lab mix and has been a huge source of excitement for Jacob. She came home from the animal shelter yesterday and seems to be adjusting well to her new abode. She doesn't seem to want to chew on much except what you give her and is not too big and not too small. Jacob has been loving on her a bunch and didn't want to go to school today because she was here. But she went along with us to drop him off and he liked that.
Macayla is a trooper, but I just wish we could make it all better for her. Her smile is still there and she responds well to us and even to Lily. Lily has been interested in Macayla, but seems a bit nervous to explore the house so she hasn't been in her room too much. Lily didn't know how to respond when we suctioned Macayla during the seizure a few moments ago. I am curious to see how the kids and the dog grow in their relationship.
