Britster, you and Jackson have sure been through it lately. I had a tree in my backyard struck by lightening when I was on a business trip and came home to fried electronics throughout - A-C, TV, etc. It was scarey after the fact when my next door neighbor described how the sound and concussion almost knocked her and her husband out of their beds in the wee hours when the lightening struck! She said they shook for hours and called the Fire Department just in case. That tree of course is long gone in addition to the electronics. Thank God my home was fine. I am just glad I wasn't here! Glad your Jackson didn't have to experience that as it could have really upset him because a very close lightening strike can be extremely violent.
As for staggering vet bills, they sort of fry our brain, don't they? It is shocking how much a couple of days' stay, meds, IV's and such can cost. Whew! And not to mention the worry and stress of your very own baby being so ill and vulnerable.
Hope you two can have a few "down" days to destress and take care of yourselves.
I pray for only the best for you two and hope Jackson is back to his vigorous lifestyle before long.
