Thank you everyone... but... quite honestly.... i think it is the passion and dedication of each one of you that is truly amazing.... We really HAVE bonded as a family (many of you have written me privately telling me about friendships that have forged from this group) and .....ya'll really do come together to support the EPI cause... no matter what it is, blood drives, raising money, casting votes for the Pepsi Challenge, helping one another out, and being there for otheres when they struggle. Just amazing! So this calendar is just a little snaphot of all the love and care from each of you.... so the thanks all goes to ya'l!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

-- Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.
