On Saturday night Fluffy was admitted to the cardiac care unit.
His heart isn't functioning enough to give him the required medication and as a result they cannot raise his blood pressure. He was given an PICC line and all that. His constant coughing is making it difficult to breathe and if that doesn't improve, he may have to be put on a ventilator.
I've been to see him everyday and while he is in good spirits, he's scared and wants to come home. I find it odd that the nurses keep making comments about how exhausted he is, yet how could he get any sleep when anytime he is able to doze off, someone comes in and bugs?
I miss him and it broke my heart to see our little girl wandering around the house looking for daddy, she looked so sad.
On my end, I've developed stress induced asthma (luckily I have some albuterol)
I swear, that puppy is the only thing keeping me sober right now.

Sorry to read you're having tough times....and I can completely relate to a puppy being your lifesaver right now, they're the best.
sober is best.
he needs you.
all for him for now.
you have your health and
no one has a stronger mind
than you.
whatever "it" is...
it sounds grim the way you describe it, but i have been
to 'grim' and back again so many times that
all i know is that it is about
the will to go on,
and why to go on,
and how much energy shall be expended,
and what is left undone,
and
what kind of beautiful gift can be given at the end,
which aint the end anyway..
puppy is saving my sister's sanity right now.
puppy is a gift from whereever,
to save her from her immense grief.
