Well, we have her home.  We've got a folding cage on our dining table
set up with its top open and her IV which hangs from the dining room
chandelier and goes through the top of the cage, her IV pump is on top of
the book set _Cambridge World History of Food_ (food history is a hobby
of mine) and tied to the chandelier by string through it's handle to make
sure it is stable.  She needs a setting for now of 4.0 ml/hr.
 
One of her things is an experimental compound which she has on an
experimental basis so we're not allowed to talk about it.  It does
seem to have helped but it's maker is worried that she is already too
compromised.  (Basically, it's going to be hard as heck to get her
through this if we all succeed and we sure hope we do, but we are a bit
closer to her vet's home if an emergency starts than the hospital is,
and she was getting too depressed at the hospital which was reducing her
chances.  She has already agreed to eat for us.)
 
Besides that, the flush for her IV, and more a/d we have the following
for her: Biaxin, Pepcid, Ampicillin, Carafate, and some Torb in case she
begins to be uncomfortable.
 
Obviously, we are back on shifts and I won't have a lot of time (actually
just had my first meal of the day so you know what kind of day it has
been, but I got CHICLET KISSES and she is eating for us ).
 
Here are pictures of Chiclet set up here at home.  The slide show feature
works best; individual blow-ups are a bit fuzzy.
