Felicia Baby My little Felicia Baby lost her battle tonight. Tomorrow is her birthday and she didn't make it. The Prednisone caused her uncontrollable GI bleeding and the weekend fight for her life took it all out of her too. They couldn't take her off the Prednisone because of the brain condition, but they couldn't get the bleed under control either and she had a touch of pneumonia that came on since this weekend as well. Her blood counts kept dropping and wouldn't stabilize from the bleed. I am so heartbroken there's no words for it. Things progressed too fast to get a handle on it. The secondary things complicated her recovery. I allowed the hospital to do everything they could to save her, but when the neurologist told me today that they are just sustaining her and even a blood transfusion would not really do anything, just put a bandaid on it and we'd be back to the same place in a matter of days and told me there was no longer anything they could do to turn this around, my heart just sank. I lost my beautiful little girl to this horrible disease. It took her so fast that she didn't even stand a chance. My heart is broken for her sister who loved her so much and knows she is gone now. She's been depressed since this whole thing started and now she is walking with a limp that came out of nowhere, so she is going to the vet as soon as possible. I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and support. I just wish the outcome had been a recovery for my little baby, but it just didn't happen. |
