I'm right here too, Sharlene.
I'm right here too, Sharlene.
Me too my dear. So wish I could do more.

Still here. Checking in again. Never too far away. ((((Hugs))))
I am so pleased that you decided to take Molly home. I know how rough this is. This sounds exactly what we went through with Palmer. My one "regret" is that I agreed to have him stay at the specialist's hospital for a few days, while they administered fluids. It did not change anything-but the doctor tried to assure us that we had done absolutely everything we could have for him. Keep Molly with you and let her know how very much she is loved. Talk to her. She needs you now. You need to enjoy her company. I am so sorry the picture is not better.
Hugs,
Sus

Surrounding you, Molly, and Daniel with all the love and energies I can provide. There is no doubt your precious girl is where she wants to be - home with her mom and dad. She knows above all that you hold her best interest foremost, no matter the cost to you. My prayers for you all continue to rise, candles burn carrying Molly's name to the Heavens.
Hugs,

I so wish we were all physically close to you , Molly and Daniel. Since that is not possible, our cyber hugs will have to do along with prayers for all of you. I am giving Abbie extra cuddles in honor of Molly.

Morning update. She had a good night. When I said Molly time for bed she was ready and I carried her up like normal and she wagged her tail. She went to the door when I asked her if she needed to go outside. So that is good. Still won't eat but is drinking on her own when she is thirsty.
This morning when she woke up she had an accident and then took off pretty darn fast for a sick girl. I told her it was okay as she is sick. So she can move and walk on her own. She took off pretty quick after morning meds too.
She won't eat so I used syringe with baby food as Wendy did for her Katie. Ended up grounding up meds and putting in the baby food and that worked. Then gave her pain meds. Later she will get sub q fluids. I plan to use baby food in a strings as easier to digest than solid right now. Eventually the hope is she will start to eat as she feels better and we keep on antibiotic for a week.
I am not going to get blood tests today. I don't think there will be a change yet. Either she will respond or she won't. I am guarded in whether I think this will work or not but I think is worth a shot.
She is happy to be home. She makes that known to us just in her reactions. That she has any reaction is a positive right now. I was so scared for her yesterday.
I might be being foolish but it's worth a shot. She either will get better or not. We just don't know. Not even docs know for sure
I want to thank all of you for being here for us during this truly terrible time. I don't know if I'd got to this point without you. You Help me to be stronger for her.
What we are doing isn't a long term solution. It is to give her a chance. I am hoping the baby food given every couple hours will help her to get stronger enough to go it on her own once again. We shall see. Hour by hour. Day by day.

Oh Sharlene, I think you are doing all the right things right now. I would not take her in for bloodwork at this point, either. Just as you say, you will be able to see by her behavior if she is doing better. The time you and Daniel are spending with her is precious, no matter for how long. And also just as you've said, the bottom line right now is that nobody can say what is yet to happen. Thank you so much for taking the time to update us. It means the world to us to know how you three are doing. Keep up the good work, girl!
