Swell: Hereditary Angioedema Movie

Hi Everyone!
We wanted to share a link to a new film about Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) that gives a lot of interesting and valuable information about the condition, its symptoms, and other resources having to do with the disease.  We hope you take the time to watch this video-it really gives a good in-depth explanation of the syndrome and its affect on daily living from the perspective of patients that have had to live and work around the disease. We'll also be posting and article on HAE soon, but we thought it was important to spread awareness for both HAE and for this film.  Thank you so much!
SWELL Documentary Home Pagewww.swellmovie.com

Swell is a documentary film that showcases the lives of people suffering from a rare, genetic disorder, Hereditary Angioedema (HAE). Upon viewing the film, you will not only learn first-hand what it is like to suffer from the disease, but also how it affects family, friends and loved ones.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Hi everyone!
Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day!  We hope it was wonderful!

Handmade Spring and Easter Celebration Cards 2011

New Easter Cards for 2011

Hi Everyone and Happy Spring!

We've been busy enjoying the beautiful weather and, as always, experimenting around with new cards and handmade items especially to celebrate Easter and that it's finally Springtime! Hopefully we'll have everything up here on the blog soon, but pretty much all of the things available for Easter, such as our cards, basket tags, and new felt gift carrots (yep-carrots that can be stuffed with goodies from the Easter Bunny :) can be found on our website, along with an  order to make it that much easier to order.  Also, look for our new Disease Awareness cards that we have for Easter, as well-you can send Easter greetings and share information about a health condition at the same time, which is just loads of fun for everybody :)!  Anyway, we hope you enjoy what we have, and let us know what you think either by commenting here on the blog, website, or sending an e-mail to hnbain1@hotmail.com.  Thank you so much, and we hope you enjoy!

Thank you!!

Daisy and Baron Update

Hello Everyone!

This will probably be a shorter post just to let you know how things are going with Daisy and Mr. Baron.  I’ve been trying to work with them as much as I can when I have enough energy, and they’re very patient with their slow-moving Mom J.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go out of the house much since December since coming down with something right after Christmas, but hopefully now that the weather’s improving, it’ll get a little easier to just take them out and do fun things with them!

Daisy Nov 2010-After a Bath

Daisy (my little redhead :), is doing well, and she’s developing a calmer demeanor, and she is incredibly fast at figuring-out what I’m trying to teach them (such as opening doors, etc.).  Sometimes she gets a little distracted and I have to regain her attention, but she’s still a happy, growing puppy who’s so eager to please and learn that I know once she’s grown a little more, she’ll be a wonderful companion to have for tasks where I need a little more help physically, such as leaning down and picking things up.  While she requires a that I have a little more energy when I’m working with her, she’s already progressed far faster than I would’ve ever thought, and I’m so proud of my little girl :)!

Baron  in Nov 2010 after a bath

Baron is my gentle giant J.  He’s now past my hips when he sits at my side (where he usually is if he’s with me and on a lead), and still recognizes, alerts, and responds when either my Mom or I are having problems-he can detect anaphylaxis, seizures, and, even more surprising, angioedema (Daisy can, as well-she just does it in a different way :).  If he’s with me, he’s learned that in some situations, the best thing for him to do is not necessarily attract attention, but to help support and keep me safe when I’m having a problem.  He walks really well on a lead with me, and lets me determine the pace and where we were going, unless he feels I’m in danger, in which case, he’ll let me know that, as well.  He is thoughtful and intuitive, and if told “No” or “Leave it”, he usually doesn’t have to be told twice.  He realizes if he is around someone fragile, and he is so calming that in addition to being a service dog, I think he would make an incredible therapy dog.

Both puppies are doing incredibly well with my novice-style scent training (they will sit and/or lay down in front of whatever I’ve told them to check for, even in cases where I’ve forgotten where I’ve hidden the “check product”), and I really am hoping to work and continue to build upon the talents both of them have.  It’s been amazing to see the differences and similarities between them, and I really hope that once the weather (and whatever tenacious bug I caught-ugh!) improves, others will have the chance to meet them and see what wonderful dogs they are :).

I’ll try to post more pictures of the puppies doing interesting things to show others what we’re doing, and, again, if anybody has any questions, comments….anything, feel free to comment below, or e-mail me at hnbain1@hotmail.com. Thank you, and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thank you!

Happy New Year and Valentine's Day Cards

Hi Everybody and Happy New Year!!!!

I hope this year is going great for everyone!  I was hoping to post a little sooner than this-I'm always amazed at how busy everything gets after the holidays are over, especially since it seems like everything piles up during that period; admittedly, I put a lot of things off until after the New Year, so .  Anyway, I've been busy working on cards for Valentine's Day, which hopefully will show up below, including some special edition cards for Congenital Heart Disease Awareness and for Adrenal/Thyroid Disease Awareness.  Thank you so much and, as always, please feel free to comment below, or send an e-mail to hnbain1@hotmail.com to let me know what you think (or to order anything...:), and hopefully I should post more on Daisy and Baron's progress soon!  Thank you so much, Happy New Year, and HAppy Valentine's Day!!!
