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

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!!!

Many prayers headed Phreds way. I hope he gets better. :(

Just said my prayers for Phred. :love:

Continuous prayers for Phred.

Thanks for calling me - keep me posted.

Hang in there buddy!!

keeping you on our thoughts... please stay strong

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.

Gosh, I surely hope Phred repairs quickly. This is breaking too many hearts. :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love::l ove::love::love:



Get Well Phred

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.:love:

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

Same here

Edited to add this prayer I copied from another board:
Dear Jesus,
Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick,
we turn to You in this time of illness.
O dearest Comforter of the Troubled,
alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love,
and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God,
we place our worries in Your hands.
We ask that You restore Your servant to health again.
Above all,
grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will
and know that whatsoever You do,
You do for the love of us.

Amen.

Prayers for Phred being said!

It saddens me so to hear Phred is going though this. :( I really hope the blood transfusion will help.

Please Phred, get better! We all need you here on this old dirt ball!

Sending lots of love :love: :love: :love: and (((((hugs)))))

I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I too hope that the blood transfusion will help him recover. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Thoughts and prayers for Phred. Come on, buddy! We need you and your crew here!!!

This is just so sad & scary.:( I do hope God has plans on letting Phred
stay around a lot longer.I'm sure his pups miss him and I know we all
miss his wit & humor on PT. Prayers that what they are doing now wil make
all the difference and bring him back to good health.

Phred has been a blessed gift to all of us.............we have been so fortunate..................

Dear God, please help our special friend............as he has helped all of us so many times.

:( Good thoughts and prayers for Phred.

Oh no, Poor Phred, this breaks my heart. Praying for him!

I am a blood donor, and hope others will consider donating in Phred's honor next time they get a chance! It really can save lives.

Still praying for you, dude!

Prayers and purrayers for Phred! Hang in there!

This is lovely and so true. Praying here for our Phred.

Prayers going out for Phred! Hope the transfusion does the trick.

My extreme LES has kept me from responding earlier. I can't seem to type with a wet keyboard. My family are all blood donors and just made plans for another "gift of life" through our local Red Cross. I just wish I had gone to visit a few weeks ago as I had first planned. Now its wait, wait wait and that is so very hard to do. Keep strong Phred. Use the strength and love we all wish you.

I can only say the same thing. I should not have waited until his friends needed me to come get the dogs. There was no real reason I couldn't have gone twice. The only thing I can say in my defense is I never thought it would come to this. And the case worker said the same thing. No one at the hospital expected this.

Sending Phred enough healing thoughts to fill a fire truck! Please, please get through this.

Dearest Phred, prayers and healing energies and warm and loving thoughts are being sent your way from us.

:love::love::love::love::love::love:

Good thoughts are sent!

I talked a little while ago to the case worker again - They have taken him off the venilator and he is going to hospice. The dogs can be with him there. I will be going tomorrow instead of Friday. I wish I could work tonight out but I am not sure I can. Sheila will be posting under my name the name of the Hospice place - he will be closer to his home. He was suppose to leave at 4:00 so here's another prayer going up that he makes it safely there.

Sheila put the phone up to Phred's ear and he knew I was talking to him. I told him you all were praying for him and I said I thought even Cinder and Smoke were. He couldn't talk but somehow he got out What Heidi's not? His sense of humor obviously is intact! I am praying for a miracle with the knowledge that this is proably not going to happen....

please get well soon Phred!!
