Unbelievable

Are there any new developments in Hope's long saga? I hope that no news is good news. Hang in there you 2, you're in my thoughts.

Hope has seemed to tolerate the Flagyl okay but we are still keeping a close eye on her. Her blood sugar was at 258 this week which is a lot better that 404!!! She will have her blood drawn again on Monday and her eye test is next Thursday. So we will keep thinking positive thoughts and pray that her eye test shows that her retina's are fine.

[mugsy]

Oh yes we will!! Positive thoughts only. I have faith that it will work out. She has been through enough, she deserves it.

Prayers will be flying your way from this household!!!

We're sending a big bundle of love and prayers for Hope, Julie! So glad to hear the blood sugar is coming down. Hang in there precious one! We're all rooting for you! Have mama give you lots of kisses please.

I haven't posted much but I have been following along and praying for dear Hope. It seems that despite her physical problems, she is thriving emotionally and I do believe that is what is keeping her fighting all these battles. Bless you, Julie, for fighting so hard for her and with her.

Ok, mugsy needs another update on the sugar saga of Hope. I hope (pardon the pun)that the news is good and that the eye surgery is going as planned. HI HOPE!!!!!!

[JAQ]

Hello Everyone! Hope is over the giardia and had no problems with the medication. YEAH!!! Her blood sugar is still a little higher that what they would like but not at a critical level so the vet is monitoring her closely and adjusting her Insulin very slowly so she won't crash again. She is doing great otherwise and actually is becoming quite a watch dog. She hears things way before my other dogs and she lets me know it! I am sure her hearing is fine tuned to compensate for the blindness. Her favorite game now is for me to put my hand under the blanket and she chases my hand and play bites and growls. It is amazing how she has come out of her shell!! Her eye test is on Thursday so I am praying that her retina's have not been damaged. The surgery is still scheduled for Oct. 31. Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers!! They are definitely helping Hope! I will let you know how things go on Thursday.

[Daisy's Mom]

YAAAAY HOPE! Our prayers are working!!!! Keep us updated, Julie! Thank you so much for all your work and updates. Any chance we could get some new pictures if you have a chance?

[mugsy]

YEAH!!! I'm so glad to hear more good news. You made me laugh when you told us about Hope chasing fingers under the blanket. Our Sox is the same way...she even jumps up in the air to attack the evil hand! It does my heart good to hear that she is continuing to learn to play. We need to hear updates on Thursday, and I'm sure it will be good news with all the good thoughts and prayers going her way. When you write to us on Thursday please tell us about the rest of your poochies. We know about Hope (which I look forward to), but we don't know about the rest of them...God knows everyone knows about our brood....over and over and over.....

[Sudilar]

Thanks for the great news about Hope!!! I pray that all goes well for her. I'll be waiting for that update!! Good luck.
