Okay, here's the latest:
 
What happened yesterday and when Meltie had the unilateral weakness llasy
week were clearly strokes, but what happened today may or may not be.  Her
heart rate is down so it could just be that her heart is giving up.  She may
have thrown more clots -- infact there are possibly some in organs including
her left kidney since there is now somethig there but fortunately it's not
painful.  Her pancreas may not be working well so today we a re trying to
get food into her every two hours and then see if she improves during that.
then tonight we will remove her food if she has shown improvement.  If she
does not improve marlkedly with the 2 hour feedings then it is not liley to
relate to the pancreas.  If it is from her heart slowly giving out and she's
still crashed tomorrow she will get a mercy shot then.  Meanwhile, she will
have yet a lower level of dig, and today her fuorsemide levels are up abit
to a mid level of yesterdays and those beoffre.  If htere sis any good
reason to thinnk that it is the pancreas causing problems on top of her
other stuff she will have a fasting glucose tomorrow and if off go on
proglycem.  Lots to remember --thank goodnesss for charts.
 
She's not hurting.  Chances are stilll that she will pass away on her own
today.  Shes been rehydrated again in case.
