Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom is sorry that I didn't write to you yesterday but I will explain in a little bit to you as to why. It is 3:30 pm and I am completely exhausted. Tonight is going to be a very early night for Mom. I bet I will be sleeping by 9 pm. This last week had drained Mom like no other. First Omar falling from the roof, then 7 hours later, Ozzy hurt himself and then 9 hours later he was rushed to the ER Vets....40 + hours with no sleep and then just maybe 4 hours every night since then for the last 8 nights is just not cutting. it. Mom is tired all the time and has to just find energy to stay awake during the day. I don't feel like doing anything at all. Before all this happened I had so much energy that I was on the go all the time. I was burning calories and losing weight. Mom was swimming for a couple hours 4 days a week and in 8 days I have not done any. My day and night is taking care of Ozzy and sleeping when I can. My exercise is carrying him up and down the stairs 10 times a day. He is 18 lbs so it is a good workout but the lack of sleep is really getting to me. I know that Mark is feeling it as well. He does get more sleep than me though. I am hoping that tonight will be the night that I can get the best rest that I have in days and tomorrow I will feel like a brand new person. I will update you on that tomorrow...lol.
 Yesterday was a long day. We were up at the same time as always. Ozzy was a tough nugget to take care of. He was wound for sound all day. We left at 2 pm to go to his doctors visit. We waited until 3 pm for them to come get him from the car and then another 20 minutes for him to be done. That wasn't it though... we waited another 20 minutes to get the paperwork and more medication. It was crazy. We got home at 5:15 pm. Mom came right in and prepped dinner. We ate at 6:15 pm and then I did the clean up. We put together the new dog ramp that we ordered and started working with both Princess and Ozzy on that. Mom was so tired that I relaxed for an hour or so and then called it a night at 9:30 pm. About the appointment: the doctor that saw him yesterday said that he did not appear to be in any discomfort or pain even after it being 9.5 hours since he had the pain meds. That was good news and she was very happy! Ozzy is by no means out of the woods just yet. She said that what we were doing, continue with that. They want to see him back in June for his regular shots and another exam. He will be off the muscle relaxer as of tonight and he has been decreased on the steroid . Instead of 1/2 a pill every 12 hours he is getting a half of pill once a day. He will be on the pain meds for a bit longer though. She would like to see them go from every 8 hours (three times a day) to every 12 hours. We are going to try that starting tomorrow as well. Ozzy has been pretty tired today though. He is sound asleep right now. He got all 3 pills at 3 pm. He went for a walk and then he is been out like a light. In 45 minutes though it will be time to feed them. He usually eats and then goes for another walk and crashes again until about 10 pm when his meds need to be given and then he is out for the night. Mom is still watching him closely and making sure he is okay. Mom will update you daily. Thank you for helping Ozzy. I know I have asked for many prayers for the little guy and reiki was also done 3 times last week on him. Mom believes that the power of prayer works and it is awesome! I whispered to you several times during the day and night so I hope that you heard my voice. I will whisper to you again later this evening so smile for me and I will smile to you. I will be lighting a new candle for you tonight as well. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you live inside my heart, mind, body and soul.
 Today is Day 29 of lock down here in Florida. They are starting to slowly reopen things back up though. It is good and scary all at the same time. The public beaches here are opened back up and there were talks about the Disney Theme Parks reopening back up soon with heavy restrictions. People are saying that there will be a second wave of this and if we are not careful then we could have a very bad Fall/Winter Season. I sure am praying that it is not true. I hope that we are smart enough to take the precautions that are needed to keep safe. I guess that time will tell on that.  
 Mom is still checking in with everyone to see how it is going daily. At least a couple calls and texts. I have been doing this since all this started. I will continue even after all this is done and everything is safe and sound again. It is important to reach out to family and friends. Mom just wishes that she wasn't the only one reaching out all the time.....anyways.....
 It is almost 4:30 pm and the little guy just woke up. I think he thinks it is time to eat. Not quite but Mom needs to go and pay bills and get all that taken care of before it really is time. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Please continue to watch over us. Thank you my sweet precious son. Have fun while I am sleeping tonight and come visit if you can. Fly high and free. Until tomorrow comes....good night and sweet dreams. I miss you more than words and I love you.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah ❤
