Seems that all i get to post about is prayer requests, but i don't have
much time to do anything but work and clean, mostly too, and i do like to
spend time on the floor with the fuzzies when i can.  Although, since i
was off today, and up all night...("thought" i had to deliver papers
alone) , i decided to stay up and clean rather than, sleep a few hours /
awake, work & go back to bed, i ended up taking a long afternoon nap
instead.
 
Well, a surrender, Brahn, whom came to live with us, from a former
coworker, i noticed had some labored breathing for a day or 2, and this
morning had an episode, of extreme, since my husband did come home,
instead of having to stay in Chicago over night, i had him stay and
keep an eye on Brahn, and did paper routes alone.  Got him to vets
right away this morning, and w/ xrays the vet determined that he has
cardiomyopathy (?) , don't know if i spelled it right.  Brahn, is barely
3 if 4 years OLD :-( !  He is now on nitro and lasix .  I called his
surrender mommy and told her she needed to come see Brahn, soon, for not
knowing much about this , i don't know how he will handle it, as his
breathing is labored by fluid buildup in his lungs, and around heart .
 
Haven't had Brahn very long here, but my heart is heavy with his illness.
Elizabeth who came to live with us from Michigan, surrender, had a
cauliflower tumor removed from her right hind foot, which was invasive,
so we are hovering over this wee one also, she barely weighs a pound.
 
Well, i usually get long winded and have to ask permission to post, so i
w/close here, if anyone has dealt with this and has some good advice, i
would appreciate hearing from you, this is a first for me .
