Hey Vixens, I thought I’d share a little update on Lucy and how we’re doing. Man, this has been tough. My self care practices are all wacky, stress level is high, emotions are a roller coaster, moon cycle is FIRING and @jbragg711 and I are just taking it one minute at a time, doing our best. Lucy hasn’t been eating. It’s probably because one of or all of the 4 medications she’s on to keep her little heart pumping. We did have a small win last night though, she ate about 8 shrimp! We got some additional blood work back yesterday and her kidney levels aren’t much higher (which is something we have to watch with the meds) and they prescribed us an appetite stimulant that we’ll pick up today. Its just a matter of getting this cocktail dialed in and getting food in her belly. The hardest part is getting all of these meds in her when she won’t eat. There’s no stuffing them into a juicy piece of salmon and down the hatch. We literally have to shove them down her throat with our fingers and it just breaks us every damn time. We’re working on a bunch of more holistic approaches as well, open to suggestions! • So for today, I’m committing to taking a small walk, doing 5 minutes of meditation and hydrating like crazy. I miss the gym and I know that exercise is so therapeutic, I just can’t find it to go right now. Start with a walk is what I’m hearing. Gentle movement, being home with my girl and being with my emotions all feels right rather than forcing/pushing myself right now. • A few things I’ve noticed: To worry is to not be present. Worry only exists in the future and in the past. I’ve been trying focus on the moment and release my sense of control. Also- to set the intention energetically that Lucy will be with us for a long time. • All in all, not the happiest of times for The Braggs but we’re grateful AF for so many things (like this glorious beach day last weekend with our girl and friends and fam!). Thank you so much for all of the support via texts, DM’s and calls! Send some energy/love/prayers our way if you can.❤️🐶😔 • • • #likeavixen #boxersofinstagram #boxersofinsta #boxercardiomyopathy #berighthere #staypresent #puppylove #dogderpoftheday (at Summerland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwHtHlaBpT5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y2glvtzm7af9
