First day of The Fuzz Report

I am beginning this blog today, May 16, so all previous posts are/will be backdated to give an idea of how things have progressed over the past two weeks to bring us to this point. 2 weeks ago today was the first day my poor little Fuzz gave me any indication that anything was wrong at all.

A few days later when she was diagnosed with GME, I ran frantically to the internet to read everything I could. Of course, I completely freaked out. Everything on the internet about GME is bad. Very bad. And of course I was reading all of this at night after the Vet's office was closed. In the morning, her doctor told me not to believe everything I read on the internet, and that there were a lot of new treatments out there that could lead to a much better outcome than you can find anywhere on the internet, late at night, with tears in your eyes.

I don't know how Fuzzy's outcome will be. Ultimately, we may lose her. But the improvements that she has made even over the past week and a half have made me very optimistic. And since in those first days I searched high and low for some amount of hope... some information from a real person with a real dog with GME that could tell me anything at all about their experience and their progress... and I came up empty-handed, I decided to make this page to tell our experiences to others that might be looking.

I will try to go cover all aspects, such as Fuzzy's symptoms, her medical care received, the cost of treatment, her progress and setbacks, as well as how we are overcoming those setbacks. I will also be posting photos and video clips of my sweet little girl. :)

I hope this has a happy ending. For now, we are taking it one day at a time.
