Praying like crazy for Brodie. He needs it now more than ever!

I am sorry to read all of this, Chris.

Brodie bear, you know we love you, and we continue to pray for you.

OM Goodness Brodie - you sure have everyone praying for you & Mama Mary. God bless you both. Brodie you keep getting stronger & stronger, like the big strong man you are. Darn, I've never met you but I just to hug you all up. Hang in there, sugar :-)

I just got off the phone with Mary and she told me that this morning she found Brodie up and sitting in his wheel. She's not sure if he was running/walking in it, but he was IN it! He also has a bunch more energy than he has had. In addition....more good news....When she got him out to feed him this morning, she tried placing his ensure in a little bowl and sat Brodie by it. He licked consistantly for 12 whole minutes! ON HIS OWN! No syringes, no putting it in his mouth....he sat by the dish and lapped and lapped and lapped!

I also have a friend (well Teresa) working to see if she can manage to sew a little life size glider (woobie as she called it) that can go in with Brodie as a cuddle buddy. Keep your fingers crossed that she can make one (or two) for him!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I just thought of something......if Brodie reacted when Mary shined the light on him when he was sneeking food (dropping it & pretending he was sleeping) I wonder if he has some light/dark perception? I'll have to have her ask Dr Fronefeld what he thinks.

Those are very good signs Chris. Glider hearing is also way more accute than ours, but, if Brodie can at least see shadows then that would be a good thing for him.

Oh man, praying hard for little Brodie, he's strong and I have a feeling he can overcome any obstacle placed in his way! Best wishes for Chris, Mary, and Brodie....I will post my condolences for Ryan in the other thread...

Good boy on eating Brodie, keep it up!

We are continuing our prayers for Brodie.

I saw Brodie on Sunday and Wednesday. Below (in DCMuffin's post) are two videos of him!

If that doesnt work I am corasgliders on u tube and those are the only 2 vids I have there both titled Brodie but one is with mary and 1 is with me.

Oh he's so pretty And Chris did you hear all those sweet things Mary was saying about your boy?

Although his fur is very cracked, his belly is not anywhere near as stained as it was at Elena's when I saw him. (his belly was HORRIBLY stained then).

Over the years, all the time's I've talked to Chris, she has told me about how hyper of a guy he is. Very active, wanting to play. Wanting to explore everything. At the SGGAs when she would bring him, all anyone would ever see of him was his tail as he was diving for her shirt.

Seeing him with his ears down like that and so inactive, he seems very unsure of himself now...it breaks my heart.

Keep praying for Brodie, thats the bottom line!

Saying more prayers for Brodie.

When I saw those videos, all I could think is that God doesnt want to see him sad either. I ask for wisdom to help this little fellow.

Here you go, Cora...this should work.

Cora, in that first video, just what were you trying to get Brodie to "do again"?

grabbing up with his arms, very peculiar neurological thing he had going on Sunday. He was just a whole different glider wed,course he had just lost his bud, your Ryan Teresa. But he just had a different look to him.

Sending more prayers out to Brodie!

...Brody has serious health problems. He is blind...and his little brain is not functioning properly...and his little body is suffering very badly from lack of vitamins.

Dr.Fronefield has him on a protien...one that he could live on with no other food. He has him on the calcium and on vit.C. He's on other vitamins also but these are the top three. At this time we have to see if his little body just didn't have them or if his body was not accepting them.

right now he is generating body heat but not as much as he should...this could stem from his problems.

He is eating like a little pig...I'm feeding him 6 times during the day and two time during the night. He has a lot of energy when your there with him...if your not close he goes to the box pouch and sleeps. This could be because of the blindness. I carry him on me all day. We are trying to fix him up with a cage mate. I put a sweet little female in with him yesterday...he was not interested at all. Today I have a precious little male I am going to try.

Brody will always have health problems...he will always need special care. What gave him these problems we have no idea...we are concentrating on getting rid of them as much as possible. He might live a month...he may live a year...he may live five years. But what ever time he has we just want him to feel as good as possibly...be happy...and feel safe.

This little man needs som prayers...

Mary

Sending more prayers and good thoughts out to little Brodie.

Your the best Mary!

i do believe in prayers. i would lay hands on him and ask God to heal his body. i did this when my little destiny was sick last yr. and she is alive and well a yr later. she was deathly ill at the time.

Our beloved Brodie, you know we love you, you know you are in our thoughts and prayers each and every day. We pray for strength for your mommy too, and auntie Mary who is taking care of you right now.

There are so many people who care about you and love you Brodie.

We love you Brodie.

With love,

Your other family, daddy Casper, mommy Liezl, two boys who adore you, and of course 5 furry brothers and sisters.

How is Brodie doing?

Brodie is still hanging in there. Mary said that he is enjoying his protein and since he started on it he is eating more than he had been. Still waiting to hear if he is starting to gain some of his weight back or not.

Sending prayers and best wishes to little Brodie! hang in there sweet one!
