It’s been a long time since blogging. I just haven’t had much to report lately. However, I have decided to share with you the epic journey of our newest family member. Almost three years ago, my friend texted me to let me know she had a serious situation to deal with. They had a nest of robins in their back yard, and one of the newly born babies had fallen out of the nest. She found it because her dog had it in its mouth. The baby was still alive so she put it back in the nest. The next morning, she went out back and the poor little robin had fallen out of the nest again and wasn’t moving. She asked her husband to remove the body. When he approached, they noticed it moving. Knowing that I love saving animals and bugs, maybe I could nurse it back to health. She brought the little peanut over to my house, and it did not look good. However, I was determined to try and save it’s precious little life.

And so the journey began. I did research on how to care for a baby bird. I mixed up baby food, some blood worms and dog food (I can’t remember if there was anything else) and put it into a syringe. I had to feed her about ever 20-30 minutes.

I was so nervous with her for the first few days, considering what she went through right after she was born. I was determined to do everything necessary to keep her alive. Fortunately, she ate really well and was moving around without any noticeable issues.

Stay tuned for the amazing journey we have been through over the last few years! I will be showing pictures of things you likely have never seen before.

Today’s symptoms: I had a wonderful day today, as I slept really well last night. Yesterday was a different story, in which I felt very run down and fatigued. Hardly sleeping the night before was likely the main culprit. I’ve noticed more bad days than good over the last few years, but I try hard to focus on the good days and take advantage of every moment I feel decent.
