Lucifer is her Siberian Husky dog. He was her adoption gift, which took several months to find. She searched the internet high and low for the perfect sidekick. When we did the math, it appears he may have actually been conceived on adoption day. This was the picture on the ad.
Wednesday the 16th, I woke up right before 3 am to the sound of Lucifer having a very severe seizure. I was panicking and trying to calm him down. He wasn't the same dog after the seizure and he had another about 6 am. A trip to the vet, blood tests, observation, etc and some meds, he came home that evening with a port in his leg. The 18th, he went back to the vet and the blood tests were backed. He had a tick bite from a suicide bomber.
It's been a week and he's finally almost himself again.
It made for a very wonky girl, very stressed, etc. Add that to upcoming sibling visit on a holiday and she made the decision to download snapchat on her phone.
When we gave her her phone, due to her tendency to attract predatory types, we made her sign that she would not download kik, snapchat or any other apps without our knowledge, those 2 were automatic nos, other apps would be case by case.
So, she currently doesn't have a phone and I feel horrible for not seeing that this would happen and putting it away temporarily until she was regulated again.
I was in tears last night and hubs was saying "you knew we'd have occassional setbacks, not worth crying over, she's made tons of progress". I'm like "I know, I know, I'm feeling horrible that I didn't see it coming and be proactive". I know this child like the back of my hand, I should be able to protect her better.
I guess I'll never be the perfect mom, but I'll keep trying.
Lucifer is doing great today by the way!
So glad he's okay!!!
