Every Healing has a Story

all over the therapist and would not leave her alone to do the healings,
we began to talk about him and I began to share details about
him and his ailments.
“He was covered in tumors, I mean covered.”
Kona has been with us since he was born, my oldest son helped
deliver him and he was the runt of the litter. He grew to be the largest
of all of the pups! He’s been such a huge part of our family ever
since.
I mentioned to Elizabeth and the group that he was extremely old
(much older than a dog of his size and breed typically lives) and
suffered from severe arthritis and senility, as well as tumors all over
his body. He was covered in tumors, I mean covered. I had counted
11 tumors on him at that time.
I said that we were very worried we were going to lose him because
we had noticed a steep decline in his health and mobility, particularly
since December of that year when he stopped being able to go
up and down the stairs to sleep with us at night, which was traumatic
for all of us. He stopped going outside unless prompted by one
of us. He stopped jumping up on the couch, he struggled to get up
from his doggie bed, and just stopped moving around as much as he
could before.
“He was a puppy again.”
E. offered to work on Kona while there, so he received therapy beginning
the first day. While she worked on him Kona became very
still and then laid down on his side and sprawled out on the floor
in front of us. It was amazing. He seemed to understand what was
going on, and even made movements as if he were trying to communicate
with her while she was treating him.
After she worked on him that first day, shortly after E. left, Kona
started running around! He ran outside and inside like he was a
puppy again, grabbing toys and running back and forth and wanting
to play. He was so happy, it was incredible. It was unbelievable.
Kona continued to receive therapy with the group each day. On day
four right as the therapy was beginning, to our surprise Kona came
over and jumped up on the couch to sit with some of the women in
the group!
