That she might see

UPDATE: Do You Believe in Miracles?

March 4: So we got to the the vet yesterday and suddenly Kyra was acting normally again. No more crashing into things, no more looking past us, and easily spotting all manner of distractions. Dr. Taylor did some blood work, conducted eye and neurological exams, and then gave Kyra a perfect bill of health. Thanks for your prayers.

This might strike some as a strange prayer request, but our family dog Kyra is acting as if her eyesight is deteriorating. Watching her the last few days, and especially yesterday, has frightened us all. Usually overflowing with boundless energy, this weekend she’s been tentative with everything, repeatedly crashing into walls and furniture and, although her tail still never stops wagging, rarely lifting her head away from the floor when she walks. This morning, she ran to the door when I got home as she normally does, except that she ran right past me in the hallway. Last night Diana scattered popcorn around her (one of her favorite treats), and she couldn’t find any of it except by sniffing. We are scheduling a diagnostic appointment at a Manhattan animal hospital this afternoon. Please keep Kyra in your prayers.
