Birthday ! Let There Be Cake !

                                                       Happy Birthday to a terrific Son !

He was born on the Winter Solstice and this year we have the "Great Conjunction" of 

Jupiter and Saturn. We will be watching the stars tonight . 


Happy Toji

The winter Solstice

It is customary to take a hot bath filled with Yuzu. Capybaras are not excluded from this traidation.

An update on iwinston !

 



 

Several of the tests came back. Turns out he has a major thyroid problem.

About two years ago we put him on some meds for this but I got really ill back then and forgot to have him re-tested, and with a new prescription. 

Turns out his numbers are through the roof. The high number for this test is around 350. His was 900. The Vet had never seen any numbers like this. He is now again on the meds and doing really well. 

I wish my thyroid meds worked this well.  He will be retested in a week. He is also having some more leg problems. we will just watch this and see how it goes.

Stay safe and Be well.

cheers,  parsnip

  2. Happy Birthday to your son!

    Thank goodness you finally got a diagnosis that can be treated. Of course I'm sorry to hear he has the thyroid problem but discovering and treating it can make a big difference for iWinston.

    I love all your pictures today. I know the dogs must really love that low window where they can see the wildlife.

    Happy Winter Solstice and please take care!

  5. I have low thyroid, which has been "fixed" with medication. I was grateful to learn what was wrong because I slept about 20 hours a day. I know you're relieved to have medication for that darling dog. Happy birthday to your son.

    Love,
    Janie
