Hello all,
How is everybody today?? TGIF right? I had a long week and I'm ready to have a long weekend at home with my baby. Since he's been sick I haven't wanted to leave the house, called in sick a couple times, and slept on the couch every single night! I only slept in my bed when he was in the hospital. We stay in the living room cuz Chu is more comfortable here. He can walk out of his kennel (within his cage area) and play or potty if he needs too. He has his own special carpet I bought him were his cage area is. I think it stays cleaner this way too because we don't walk on it. He has a space heater (from Costco, its awesome!) and an anti-bacterial warm air vaporizer. I am doing everything I can.
And its slowly paying off. Chu is eating well and taking in more water (cuz I'm adding more to his food). Tonight is hopefully his lost shot of Amikacin. He is still on the oral antibiotics though. He seems like he's regaining some energy, but very slowly. But he still sounds so congested. However, I think its better that its in his throat (waiting to be coughed-up or swallowed) than in his lungs. And like the xray showed, those are slowly clearing too. So I will keep trying my hardest to nurse him back to health. My husband, Richard and sons, Mikey and Ricky deserve some kudos too. They have helped me with him and put up with my stress. I even asked my mom to come stay with him when I was at work. Chuey hasn't been alone for more than 2 hrs since he's gotten sick. I'm not even in another room. So, I hope he feels all my love and that it gives him strength to fight, fight, fight!
Thanks for reading my book here, have a good night and thank you again for all your support and prayers!
