Dear Epilepsy,

You may be a part of our boy, but you surely don’t define him.

You 𝑎𝑙𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 succeeded in the battle you picked with Porter. After recovering fully from his Status Epilepticus episode, not only did he 𝕎𝕀ℕ, he is thriving and paying it forward by helping others.

Porter is proving to the world that dogs with Epilepsy not only can can have a good quality life, but can also beat you at your game and 𝔽𝕃𝕆𝕌ℝ𝕀𝕊ℍ. You are 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 for our boy’s resilience.

Our efforts: Relentless.

Our faith and hope: Endless.

We won’t give up. We won’t give in…𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹.

*********************************

We are beyond grateful to be able to celebrate these days with our boys, and fully understand that there are dogs and families who are less fortunate. We will continue to fight each and every day for the warriors of the past and present in hopes that one day all dogs can live seizure-free.
