In the middle of the night I heard Specks trying to jump on the stepstool beside the bed and stumble. So I lifted her up there and we all promptly fell asleep. I've rigged up the fluids in the spare bedroom and put a soft blanket on top of the freezer. Just finished giving her morning dose and it's very obvious that my baby girl is truly not well. She didn't flinch at all. The first time I put in the needle it was not far enough in and the fluids started spreading on her fur. So I reinserted it in a different place then started the flow. Everything seemed to go OK and the bag went down by 100 CC's but she didn't get that lump on the back of her neck like I was told she would have. The blanket was not wet and neither was her fur so I'm assuming that it was done correctly. Tonight my friend Elizabeth is coming over and she'll help me out. Oh yeah, when I took the needle out I jabbed it in my finger.... so I guess that one will be replaced right away.

Debbie, the kidney med she is on does contain Potassium so I hope that she will improve on that.

Today I have to play Santa for the Humane Society so I will keep her in her own room separated so I can monitor her input and output. Looking at her right now....she really looks like she's on death's door and this is just killing me. As I've said to others in an email....my heart has never felt such pain before.
