Logan made this update earlier this morning at Golden Guardian...

We have made it through the night. Scott, Honey, Lilly and I spent the night together, on the floor, in our den.

As Dr. R explained to Scott and me, yesterday, after pumping her body full of fluids (3 IV bags, just yesterday), he was in hopes that it would kick start Lilly's kidneys so that they would start doing their "job" again, of taking the waste out of the bloodstream. When bloodwork was done around 6 pm last night, there was no improvement in that important BUN (sp?). He had told us that if we couldn't get that BUN down, we would have to let her go. Even though peeing is important and helps her rid her of some of that excess fluid, it isn't an indication that all is well. She did pee twice before settling down for the night. We are glad he allowed us to bring her home and give her another shot at an improving BUN this morning. If it were to be better, I don't know what happens. Dr. R told Scott that if we got a miracle and she improved, she will never be 100% again.

The string in her colon and the subsequent bleeding don't have a direct relationship to what is going on with the kidneys, but her weakened and stressed condition has probably caused us to now know that she had a kidney problem. Until yesterday, the BUN and Creatine (sp?) have been normal.

We will be taking her back around 8:30 this morning. I will let Betty know, by phone, what is going on.

Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. While you're praying, please remember Dr. Robinson and his staff, those 3 wonderful dogs (Blue, Jake and Oreo) who provided the blood for Lilly's transfusion yesterday, and our 3 children (Helen, Elizabeth and Andrew), who are all devastated, and precious Honey, who will not know what to do without her sidekick, Lilly, who has always been there with her.

As I get more information I will try to keep everyone here updated also so you can all be in prayer. I strongly believe in the miracle of prayer and it really sounds like Logan and her family need it also in addition to our sweet Lilly.
