Alex is gone, and my heart is breaking

[Medusa]

Sorry for the confusion. I must have been having a blonde moment. The crying part sounds exactly like Creamsicle. If she cries when I'm on the phone w/someone who doesn't know her, they'll say "Go take care of your baby." And when she gets panicky, good grief! She wails at the top of her lungs. When I first got her, she would turn around while she was eating (after the head movements calmed down) just to make sure I was there. So I'd sit right beside her so she could eat in peace, sweet girl. Anyhow...good luck and bless, bless and bless you.

Blessings,
Mary

Oh the wailing sounds this boy makes!! It's enough to wake the dead!

He does do the turning around while eating, and his balance definitely seems off at times. What I've been doing is putting him right next to my body when I'm seated on the floor, putting a plate of wet food there for him (I've been putting some immune support and Wellactin in it once a day, just to give him a boost), and then I have my arm over him as he's eating. It doesn't have to touch him, but I think it gives him added stability. He sways a bit when he's just standing on his own eating the wet food. He's still knocking over the dry food bowls, so I'm going to change them to some of my low and wide baking dishes that I don't use. They're not big enough for me to bake in for groups, so I have been keeping them for water bowls for the guys upstairs. I'm also going to look at one of those elevated food and water bowls at PetSmart today as well. Not sure if that is needed, but want to check them out. He also likes the treats I got there that are supposed to calm him down. I had them for Frankie, and since they're both together, I've been using them with both boys. Not sure if the calming works but they like the flavor. I'm just hoping that there's nothing more neurologically wrong with him from the fall at this point as well.

I hope not, too. It'll probably take a while before you get a routine going w/him but I have no doubt that you'll be able to. There's no limit to what love can do.
