I am at a loss for words over the outpouring of love from you all throughout this whole ordeal over the five month span. I honestly feel that you have been on this journey with us and I don't think we would be where we are today without each and everyone of you.
Josi had a very peaceful nights rest snuggled up beside me. I wish I could post that her condition has improved, but I don't think it has:( She continues to drink water and she even ate some chicken this morning which made me so pleased, but she is so weak. She doesn't have the strength to stand up and she is not peeing even laying down. I am not sure if that is a sign that her kidney's are shutting down or not, but I know it can't be good. Brian and I don't want to give up hope nor make any rash decisions on when it's time, but when it gets a little bit later in the morning, I will be placing a call to our vet to see if he can come by the house and check on her and give us his opinion. Josi has defied odds so many times throughout her life that it is trying on our emotions as what to do. I cried in my sleep all through the night wondering if that would be my last night canoodling with her. I am trying very hard to not feel sorry for ourselves, but to say that is difficult would be an understatement. I know many of you that have been through this before have talked about the "look" and I don't think she has given that to us yet, but I question if I will ever be ready to see it...regardless I will not let her suffer nor continue to fight a battle that she can not recover from to bring her quality of life back. I sang "You are my sunshine" to her this morning and reminded her that it is my mom's birthday on the 31st and if she has to go to heaven to please send her my love with licks and wiggles. When I lost my mom years ago at the young age of 50 to multiple sclerosis, I never thought I would get through that, but I did. My baby girl consoled me through the darkest days and gave me hope that there was brighter memories ahead. When it is Josi's time, she will take a large piece of my heart with her and it will not be complete until we meet again. I promise I will post again with an update with hopefully some better news...
