Waiting

Hi Everybody,
We spent the weekend waiting which is nobody's favorite thing to do. You see, my little daughter Lola is sick. She went to visit Dr B last Friday and he examined her and stole some blood from her leg. We all had to wait till today to get the results.
Waiting is hard even when you're not waiting for anything special. But when somebody is sick and you're worried, waiting is super hard to do.

It was a chilly weekend so Mom spent some of the time in the kitchen baking. She made an apple pie.
She made some banana bread.
And she made a strawberry banana pie, with sprinkles, for our dessert.
 Then, finally, today came. Dr B called Mom this morning and it was good news. You see we thought Lola might have a very sick liver. She's been drinking a lot of water and boy, do I mean a lot. Then she has to pee about every hour. Mom has been getting up during the night with her because she has to pee then, too. But the lab tests showed that Lola's liver is actually better than it was last year and nothing seemed wrong on the lab report. There's no infection, nothing to explain her thirst and her peeing.

Dr B has another test for Mom to do to figure out just how much Lola is drinking and they'll do that next week. He says there are a couple things that may be going on. Over the weekend Mom started giving Lola some Denamarin that she had left over from Morgan. We can't explain it but Lola slept thru the night Saturday and Sunday. Dr B says to continue the Denamarin and suggested a couple other things to try. He also said that Lola's grieving for Bailey may be playing a part because stress can do strange things. Lola is still looking for Bailey but she seems to be adjusting to her being gone.

Whatever is going on, we're all really glad that Lola is going to be OK.  I personally think it was the sprinkles that helped.
Your pal, Fudge
