Akira Update: "What?! I can float? What the h@!ck is going on here, mom?"

Since her amputation on 9/6 we've had challenges supporting Akira with pain management, drug...
A Tribute To Sheba: Yesterday we laid to rest Roy's cat of 15 years and Akira's BFF. Sheba had been dealing with throat cancer for quite some time and were able to honor her desire for a bit more time with Roy Ayala (her "person") and find the divine timing where she was not in distress to assist...

Gave her a Swedish massage and gentle stretch and now she is resting. Getting close to time to get her back to water therapy.
I personally know how muscular imbalances (being a...
