I spoke to Mike briefly this morning and it's been 3 days now without seizures. Bailey gets up and walks around in her cage a little, eats, drinks water, etc. and no pee accidents. Then she goes back to sleep. The vets at the emergency clinic and his regular vet both feel encouraged and think that it's more than likely encephalitis and not a brain tumor. He may be able to bring her home in a day or two if she continues w/out seizures. But I feel that he should leave her there for a while if he can financially swing it because he's got to get back to work and he certainly can't leave her as soon as he gets her home. Thank you so much for your concern and powerful prayers. I'll continue to keep you posted.

Finger still crossed...not QUITE as tightly...sounds good so far.

Dear little Bailey has been through the most of it!

More hugs and prayers!

Does Mike seem a tad more reasonable since Bailey started improving? I don't condone his behaviour, really - but stress this prolonged and awful can really bring out things in people.

The tough love from you was just what he needed, IMO.

Well, I've known Mike long enough to know that if Bailey were to take a turn for the worse, God forbid, he'd go back to 'I just can't do it'. He's basically a good person at his core but his 'hide-my-head-in-the-sand' mentality doesn't do Bailey any good. When I stop being mad at him, I'll ask him if he still feels the same way. Bailey deserves better.
