OT: Dillinger Update - 3 - Today was a Roller Coaster Ride
I did not post news earlier because at 11 a.m., after having gotten a good report earlier, I got a 2nd call that his heart rate had shot up and that while they had gotten it under control, a short time after that he was lying on his side and totally unresponsive and they were not sure what was going on. I suggested that we play a wait and see approach, so long as he was not having any other issues and that pending how he did the rest of the day, would determine what to do further on. I was actually afraid to call and find out what might be going on the rest of the day, finally doing so at 3 p.m., and was told that he had rebounded, but that he had still not stood up, taken water or eaten and I should bring his favorite food when I came up to see him. I got up there at 6:30 and they had finally gotten him up and walking and when I went upstairs we had to go look for him at the indoor track they have there, he was doing pretty good and I even gave him chicken and he ate 2 small pieces, laid down for a bit, started whining and then got himself up, all by himself and wanted to get out of where they had him, well it turns out, he was trying to tell everyone, hey I have to go pee. . . and that's what he did and the vet was thrilled. He then laid his head in my lap, me and my friend petted and talked to him and he fell asleep.
We are hoping there will be no more setbacks and if that is the case, then he will come home, more than likely, on Sunday. I just want him where I can pet and love him until it's time to say goodbye. I hope and that is all I have right now, that and faith that whatever will be, it is not in my hands, Dillinger, I and the doctors have done our part, the rest will be what it is.
Good night and thank you, Laureen
