Wednesday evening update on Jolene... I am now in from work and JoJo has been in the hubby's care all day. Kills me that I can't be home to "nurse" her as that is truly what I know. Had to go take care of the human patients today. Heres my report...
I got up with her at 5:00 am when I usually get up, she had slept well through the night with just a few coughing spells, no vomiting, which was good since she was in my new bed!! Gave her all the meds and hand fed her some canned Innova, she ate a bit over 1/4 can, the large one. I was happy with that. Drank a bit of water and was back in bed before I made it to the shower. Ken said she slept most of the day but did get a bit more playful this evening. She is wearing her fleece jogger that is worn and tattered from BarkingDogClothes, but hey, it keeps her warm. I really need to get her some new duds before winter!! He said he tried to take it off several times and she ran away form him, so he figured she wanted it on. I tried when I came home and she squirms to keep her head in, so I guess she'll wear it until it completely falls apart. He said the coughing was a bit better through the day than it has been and since I've been home only one episode. Still sleeping alot and her appetite isn't quite as good as normal, but she does not feel fevered anymore. We haven't noticed anymore of the vomiting and I listened to her lungs and they are about the same, no better, no worse. Hydration status appears good. So, I think we are making a slow improvement...
Thank you so much for all who have expressed a concern and have offered prayers, advice and support. My YT family absolutely ROCKS!! I will post again after work tomorrow evening.
