I remember last year when my Tigger was so ill, the Vet used to tell me that the "wee hours" were the worst, because that is when they are the weakest. The fact that she could stand is just awesome! It's so funny too, how you describe Gracie, now and earlier in the day, as egging Natie on with her little yaps.... that is exactly what my Spanky used to do with Tigger, to encourage him to get moving. If he was having a really bad time, and I was not in the room, she would start barking her head off until I came there....like she was calling to alert me. When he would not eat, she would also yap at him then.
Aw Hon....... I have this picture in my head of you, at this late hour, so tired, looking out for your baby girl, listening to her breath, getting so excited at a such a simple thing as standing. I wish I was there next to you,cheering you both on.
I will be up still for a while and will check in here very soon.
Hugs,

It was a fleeting accomplishment, but an accomplishment none the less!!
She's sleeping now, and if I had any sense, I suppose I would try to do the same.... but I've been online trying to find some kind of veterinary expenses grants - - which I did.... just, we're not qualifying for any of them.... <<grrrrrrrrr>>
I filled out the online app. for the Care Credit thing..... no go....
IMOM.com is a fabulous resource, but they are not able to assist as quickly as Natalie needs treatment..... (the EMERGENCY grant would be possible IF the doctor signed a statement saying that Natalie will die or need to be put to sleep in the next 24 - 48 hours without treatment.... but since I'm PRAYING that is not the case.... and, well.... the doc is not even seeing her for 4 more days.... that won't work, but I gave it a shot!!) - so IMOM.com is not gonna' fly...... (although, it may be an option should there be any long term treatments required!)
Time to feed the baby girl....................
