I was shocked to see Harley up and walking on a leash. I was so happy, I sat on the floor of the lobby with him for the next 5 minutes. His bloodwork is normal, and they will re-introduce food by mouth tomorrow to see if he tolerates it. If he does, they will take him off all IV meds, take out the NG tube and possibly come home Saturday, but most probably Monday.

Linda, you have certainly made a believer out of me about Gulf Coast. They are an amazing place. Harley was barely over having a seizure on Monday morning, he was in shock, having severe pancreatitis and was non-responsive and now, 48 hours later is walking on a leash and wanting belly rubs. His pancreatitis was severe, and after doing a little research, it's my understanding 50% of these little ones don't survive. Had I not gotten Harley to Gulf Coast, I don't believe he would have made it. Please don't ever wait if your little one has any of the symptoms of pancreatitis. Time is very important. Once again, thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers....they certainly helped!

I am very happy to read the great news!! Continuing to pray for Harley to be back home with you soon.

That is very scary statistic, 50%. An eye opener that sends a very powerful message.
