***Hi Everyone... Nat has asked to thank Everyone for their lovely messages both on here and privately... although, unfortunately, she can't actually read them due to her current condition.. so apologises for not replying ... i am, however, reading them all to her ### thank you all so much ###Rich
❤️
Quick update:
Firstly, thankyou so much on behalf of Nat for everyone's well wishes ... we have such a wonderful support network and BM family around us .. its truly amazing ###
So, turns out that Nat's Vertigo symptoms have been caused by an unknown inflammation at the top of her spine /neck of unknown origin!
This is affecting her balance, speech, ability to swallow, eyesight and mobility
We have a load more tests today /this week including a lumber pucture, from which, the spinal fluid will tell us the underlying cause of the inflammation... x🤞
We're staying positive .. the kids have been amazing ... as have our BM team, supported by Leah, Carla and Julie, who are just absolutely amazing in the way they have taken on lots of roles unfamiliar to them ... ❤️
We have lots of offers for help and we are so grateful.. the most important way you can help is to keep coming training or dog school so that our finances remain stable as they're pretty tight in the first place!
Enjoy classes, enjoy having a different instructor, enjoy working your dog around different dogs and enjoy each other's company ... so we will continue to have our wonderful BM family to come back to after these next few weeks!
If you do have any issues, financial or training related feel free to speak to either Leah, Carla or Julie and they'll relay it back to me if they can't help!
Thanks again everyone.. its a worrying time but we'll get through it together ... Nat is my/our world and I'm not going to let anything happen to her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ much love, Rich xx
