Sorry I have been away for a few days. So here's the latest updates on Aidan.

We took him in the Neurologist yesterday morning, where he stayed overnight. They performed a Brain MRI - Results: NOTHING.

Then they performed a Spinal Tap - Results: NOTHING

They ran blood and urine and sent off for testing to another clinic, no results yet.

So, now we are getting WAY on up there in the price range.

Cidney suggest I take Aidan to Texas A&M, they can spot the problem alot more quickly than the doctors up here in Dallas.

So far since Aidan has been home, we haven't see any signs of strangeness, but the night has yet to fall... and that is normally when he goes in his episodes.

My poor baby has a shaved neck and shaved leg.

He's been fairly chipper today, playing with his baby squeekie... but the hell that he has been through seems so unfair. He has literally been poked, proded, violated, and shaved with still an undetermined diagnosis. When is it time to just stop and let him be a puppy..

I forgot to mention in my much earlier post, Aidan is about to be 2 in October. He is a full size Yorkie. 11 lbs to be exact. I didn't want a little tiny Yorkie due to sicknesses.... so much for that idea. If any of you out there have toy/t-cup yorks please dont be offended. They are ADORABLE, but we knew that the prices/dr visits was out of our price range, plus when we saw Aidan for the first time... I would have picked him out of the bunch anyway.

So theres the stats. Anyone who might have any suggestions for me, you can email me at tishaandjoe@comcast.net.

Thanks so much for all your love, support and guidance. I will be on again to give another update soon.
