Arrival Story: Mommas children have all grown up and moved away, they were worried about her because she had a severe accident when they were very young ages 9, 7, and 5, that had left momma in a coma and hospitalized with a skull fracture and bleeding in her brain with massive swelling and bruising . She had a massive traumatic head injury plus a spinal cord injury, momma was paralyzed from the neck down.
_________________________________
Momma had a very daunting task and struggle ahead of her with years and years of recovery due to someone else's negligence. (pawmail for more) .
So they got this tiny puppy for Christmas one year. Coming at Christmas is the reason behind my name St. Nickolas, and momma says I have been a gift ever since. She says I have a heart as big as the universe. I wonder how big that could be?
_________________________________
Momma said I was tiny like a mouse, and I'm still so tiny she worries about me.
I love to make furends, but my first interest is to my momma
MaryEllen. I have been with my momma since I was born. I knows so much about her that I developed the ability to sense when she was going to have a SEIZURE and I would start to bark at momma differently than when an alarm goes off.
The first time it happened Momma wouldn't listen to me, I was so upset with her because I did everything my 'lil self could do to get her to understand me I though. That day she had, at the YMCA a grand-mal seizure and had to be rushed to the hospital and stayed for two days. She realized that I (Nickolas) was telling her something. From that time on if I acted like that she would stay home. She would have the SEIZURE at home and her son Jon was close by take care of her. Momma could just go to bed and be safe and I was right by her side.
_________________________________
I (Nickolas) alert momma to her phone, door, stove, buzzers, alarm clocks, strangers, or someone at the door, and squirels if need be!Even at night if she were to have a seizure in her sleep I help by licking her face and barking to wake up her son.
Momma loves me so very much, and I love momma so very much too!

Bio: My best talent is my ability to detect SEIZURES!
Momma now has PACEMAKERbecause her heart just stops (due to her brain injury) and so I have to watch her closely and her balance is off.
Her motorized car is pawsome and I can ride with her because I am small enough to fit in the basket.
She and I have learned to walk with her cane.
She has been through several mini strokes and one big one. I did not like it when she had to stay at the hospital for a week and all the other times for days on end it just seems like it will never end. I as her faithful companion stay by her side everywhere she goes I go. I love her very much. Momma will have extremely bad seizures (due to her brain injury) and be gone for a few days because she will be in the hospital.
She had a severe accident that had given her skull fracture and brain injury with spinal cord injury, she had to relearn how to walk and talk. Her Dr.s gave her no prognosis of recovery. She was in a coma and had bleeding in her brain with massive swelling. She had no memory of people or of anything like a newborn....My Momma had been married for 22years and had three children 9,7,5 years old when she was tragically struck down.
She owned her own Photography Studio was on the Board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce. She was active with so many community events, her kids were involved as well. So when they were told she was never coming home they couldn't accept that answer and got on the phone and started making calls to some of mommas friends. If you want to know more of journey story please contact us at our paw~mail.
Well I did it I got my Service Dog Achievement to be able to go everywhere my mommy goes. Unless of course she is unconscious with a seizure then I will go home because mommy will go to the hospital. I wear my vest and tags proudly!!!
Nickolas I love you my Dear Darling Soul who has walk this long lonely journey traumatic head & brain injury the silent disability.
