7 :: 52 Weeks of Arthur | 2017
Hello, everyone! I hope you all are doing okay.
Here's my little prince doing what he does best: nap time hugging his beloved Lilica. He looks sad, but he really isn't, he was just sleepy.
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your kind words and positive vibes for Arthur. It means a lot to us.
Second, let me tell you what's happened during this week.
As I explained before, the left side of his face is paralysed and I still don't know what is causing it. I took him to the hospital for an ultrasound just for a check up (because last time he was sick he had liver, spleen and kidneys damages. This time we only the kidneys have alterations, but nothing too serious because of his, which is expected. Either way, we did a biochemical test to check liver levels. Everything is fine. Tomorrow we'll do a blood count and urinalysis.
On the same day I asked a professor of mine to run some neurological tests on him. She did and he'll have to go through a tomography on Wednesday so that we can find the source of the problem. We know that the facial nerve is totally affected. But he also have midriasis, which is affected by other cranial nerve, and a few other alterations that indicates other nerves. The problem is that we don't know if what is causing all this problem is the otitis (which I really hope it is) or another patology on his encephalon (which I'm praying everyday not to be the case, because the chances of having a treatment are very slim - especially where I live, because we don't have a very advanced technology - not to say at all -on brain surgery). I'm treating only the otitis and using eye drops to prevent dryness. It's all can do at the moment.
So tomorrow I'll be taking the results of all the tests to another professor who will be performing the ct scan and to the anesthesiologist that I want to do the procedure.
In general, he's fine. He's eating, drinking, doing his physiological needs all as he was before, normal. He plays with me (when he's awake), I take him to his four walks everyday... Great! These are a few less things to worry about.
I believe I'll have the results on the same day, and I'll tell you then what we find out.

It's been really stressful these days, but I will answer each message as soon as possible.
Once again, thank you for the love. And, please, keep sending positive thoughts for him.
Have a blessed week, everyone.
