Phred has Passed, the Prayer Pups join our family & funeral news (pg. 13)

[4 Dog Mother]

I am starting a new post because Phred has taken a REAL turn for the worst. He needs all the prayers he can get. He is on a ventilator, and has been given some heart medication and needs a blood transfusion. The blood transfusion may help turn things around but right now things are not good at all. His social worker just called me - Pat and Joan are there and will be there for the time being. He has a Living Will and doesn't want much extra done to continue to live if he can't breathe etc. on his own.

Some of you thought I went last Friday to get the dogs - I must have written it wrong in that post - it is this Friday I am suppose to go but now I am wondering if I should try to get there sooner. The problem is my job, Carl's job etc. We'll have to see if I can make arrangements to go sooner - but right now I'll just be waiting by the phone to see how things go.

PLEASE PRAY HARD FOR OUR PHRED!!!

I was saddened to read of this turn of events. Praying now that Phred can make another turn - this one for the better. Hang in there Phred. You have a lot of folks pulling for you.

When I talked to my mom, she said she had asked if he recognized people. The social worker said not real well, although when she called him Phred, and mentioned Pet Talk his eyes did seem to light up.

Poor Phred, this breaks my heart. I hope that he will do better from the transfusion. So many thoughts and prayers going out for him.

Thanks for the info. That he is not comatose is good - even though he's on a vent.
