A Sick Puppy at Duke

Joe is one little sick puppy tonight at Duke. No appetite, so only a couple of spoonfuls of food. That leads to no energy and that leads to feeling even worse. As of a few minutes ago, he can't stand without feeling dizzy. The fluids given this afternoon haven't made any difference with that thus far. I did manage to get a smile out of him this afternoon but tonight he's all serious...and quiet. The quiet is necessary however. When he talks he starts coughing which just tires him even more. We won't have the results of the labs from this morning until Wednesday at the earliest. If they can just get the dizziness under control, we will be ahead of the game.


It's going on 10pm now and he has rolled over to go to sleep (although vitals are to be taken at 10, so he'll have to wake up).  Thank you for all the calls, messages and prayers today.  I'm praying tomorrow is a better day with Joe showing signs of improvement.
