Prayers For Natalie, PLEASE!!! We just returned home from the ER without our precious Natalie!!
She seemed to be fine - no problems with the hypoglycemia we've been battling over the past weeks.... eating well, barking and playing....
She had her final vaccination (Duramune 5) two days ago and didn't appear to have any problems from that.
She did vomit once this morning... and I noticed her coughing a couple of times today.... this evening after being syringe fed, she vomited again... more coughing - a loose stool.... and EXTREMELY labored breathing!!
In a matter of minutes she went from looking a little "sickly" to fighting for every breath - - the inside of her ears turned blue from lack of oxygen!
The ER doctor said that it was likely an upper respiratory infection that hit her quite hard since she is so tiny (24 ounces @ 6 months old) - - - she received a steriod injection and an injection of antibiotics and will spend the night in the hospital under oxygen.
Please, everyone - send up a few extra little prayers when you talk to God tonight, that our little girl will come through this alright. She looked so frail - it was like leaving my own heart behind when we had to leave!!
Thank you so much for including little Natalie in your prayers!! |
