8.31 Friday Faves and Labor Day finds

Hi friends! Happy long weekend to ya! I’m posting Friday Faves on a Saturday because it’s.been.a.week. (Actually a few weeks!) The Pilot finished up three weeks of night flying, so it’s been a lot of solo parenting around here since the girls started school. Earlier the week, I noticed that Maisey’s mouth looked weird. She was showing her “little teeth” which cracks us up, and I didn’t think too much of it. The next day, she was unable to close her mouth and was having difficulty eating and drinking.

We took her to vet urgent care, and her bloodwork and vitals were normal. They recommended scoping her nose and throat to see if there was an obstruction, so that’s what we did. They didn’t find anything, gave us an enormous bill, and sent us home with no answers.

It hadn’t improved the next day, so we found another vet who could see her. (We typically use a mobile vet service and they’re amazing for well checks, but it’s impossible to get in for emergency situations.) They were determined to find answers, and took her back so all of the vets in the practice could take a look and see what was going on.

She has trigeminal neuritis, also known as drop jaw, and it’s supposed to be temporary, with a full recovery expected in about two weeks. (Thank goodness.) They don’t know what might have caused it – it can be an autoimmune response or inflammation – and it tends to happen suddenly and then go away. I just keep praying that she makes a full recovery. In the meantime, I’ve been blending her dog food with organic beef broth, giving her coconut water to keep electrolytes up, and making sure she gets enough water.

I spent a few nights up worried sick about her, my car also broke (it was a quick fix, but a giant pain), and school and everything has just felt like chaos. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend and some friend time, sleeping in, and getting caught up on life.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead and I’d love to hear what you have going on!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

8.31 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

Got this facial massager during the Revolve sale and I looooove it. I’ll do a full review soon but it’s amazing that it naturally cools overnight. When I use it in the morning, it’s cold and refreshing!
