**LILOS FULL UPDATE **
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for your ongoing support during this difficult time with us. I just wanted to give you a brief update on Lilo's current medical status so we are all on the same page and can continue praying for her. We were hopeful that she would be improving after calling the vet at 3:00 am to check on her. They originally told us that she was able to sit up on her own and her gums were turning back to pink, but at 8am this morning Lilo's heart stopped and she went into cardiac arrest. We completely lost her pulse and heart beat for a few minutes and i begged them to keep trying... they managed to bring her back and she is still in critical condition at the hospital. She is now breathing through a tube which they hope to be able to take out in a few hours... They believe the cause of the sudden change was water developing around her heart due to a protein shortage. She is estimated to now stay another 3 to 4 days. That is all we know right now and we will be going back to visit her later this afternoon. We told her when we saw her how loved she is and ho many people are rooting for her as we speak. Her ears perked up at this, so we know out little angel is still there. We have put another $900 on our credit card towards her vet bill and have managed to raise over $1000. We thank you all so much again. We can never say thank you enough for all you've done with your support & prayers. Please help us continue to pray and share her story... She only has one wish this year and that is to stay here with us all....
