In a nutshell...


After this week I am totally exhausted and the only reason I'm finding the time or energy to do this is because Quagmire is back in the hospital.

Ok, so it's official. Quagmire has Pancreatitis which is a nasty name for a nasty disease.
He is by far out of the woods however our vet is closed over the weekend so we had to take him out of the hospital today. It's possible he goes back in Monday morning to be re-admitted.
Gary and I really appreciate all of the prayers and thoughts, we really do. We don't have children of our own so our pets are our babies and this has been a total nightmare, and like I said he's not out of the woods yet.
We get to spend the next 48 hours giving him fluids via a needle under his skin and shots every 12 hours since he is still not eating and not allowed to drink more than a tablespoon or so every 3 hours.
This really sucks.
THE GOOD news however is his valley fever results are back and it has dropped significantly with the new meds we put him on last month. (That's super great). Um.. my brain is fried right now and I'm having a hard time remembering everything. Thank God our vet typed EVERYTHING out for us including on his medicine bottles exactly when he gets what shot and when. She is an amazing person. She even gave us her home # in case there is a problem because Gary and I both feel uncomfortable with having to take him to the Emergency Animal Center (they're very weird and super overpriced).

So, that's that and of course I'll keep everyone updated.

Thank you so much guys.
We love you!
