Update

Stan has been home since late Thursday evening. He got his appetite back on Saturday and I have heard that is really good that he wants to eat so soon after a crash. He tries to play for a little bit but still seems tired more than usual. I joined a support group type page on facebook for people with dogs that have Addison's. Everyone there has been very encouraging and supportive of Stan. Its so nice to be able to ask questions and get like 20 responses from people who have been dealing with this disease for a long time. After Stan came home he has developed this shiver that would be like you or I getting a chill and doing a quick all over body shiver except his is more frequent and last longer. I was really worried because he did it for like 45 minutes this morning so since our vet is closed (I'll still call them in the morning) I asked the facebook group about it and while some said their dogs have never had this happen others have said that their dogs will do it for a few days up to weeks after a crash, so that eased my mind a little bit. I did also have to write such a depressing email to the women who fostered Stan and his mother and siblings so she could let the other puppies' adopters know since they are now also at risk of developing it. I hated having to be the one to send them the bad news and I pray they will never develop it but just in case I hope that since they now know they are at risk they can catch it before their pup crashes as hard as Stan did.

In other news I addressed all of my save the dates this afternoon and will be working on the rest Kevin's half if he ever gets addresses from people) this week so hopefully they will be in the mail by the weekend and in your hands sometime in the next week or two depending on how long it takes to make it to your house!
