jake update:

He has a neuro muscular disease (LONG name…) that he will now have to live with. There is medication. There is hope. Of all the possibilities presented to me at the hospital, he’s in best possible position. Which, is still not good. But it’s a hell of a lot better than it could be.

He will be hospitalized at least another day or two… continuing with my hopeful good thoughts and thankful for such an AMAZING hospital staff.

  7. Oh my thoughts are with you and Jake, we had to put down my Dh’s work dog last week because of the pain his hips were causing him, it is such a horrible thing to go through, I am hoping for a positive out come for Jake and your family.

  8. Oh May, I’m so sorry to hear this news. You and Jake are definitely in my thoughts. I hate thinking about what could happen to Helix, so I know this must be incredibly rough for you. Keep us posted, and I will be sending all of my good vibes your direction.

  9. Although this news isn’t exactly what you hoped for, at least it is something you can work with. Hopefully Jake will respond well to treatment and have several more years of love to give. Thank God for modern medicine and for the doggie doctors who take care of our fur ‘babies’. Keep us posted. Jake is in our thoughts and prayers.

  10. I hope he won’t be in pain! Will they be able to control that?
    I’m so sad it wasn’t just a really bad tummy flu! =(
    I should take my big-dog-Dexter in to have his tummy checked; it gets upset from nothing these days and now I’m scared!
    Hope he gets to come home soooon!

  11. Oh May, I will think good thoughts and keep Jake in our prayers! I know how much we love our furry kids and when they hurt, we hurt too. You know I have a fondness for Jake 🙂

    Big hugs to you all and when you see Jake please give him a scratch and rub from us!

  12. May, I hope Jake will be able to go home soon and that the medicine will help him feel better. My heart goes out to you (hugs).

  13. Hi May, I hope all will be well with Jake and he will get to come home soon.

    Hugs,
    Diane
