Another visit to my baby Sammy to wish him good night, but I'm afraid it may have been a goodbye. If only he'd respond to his meds and rest comfortably through the night...the heartworm results will be in tomorrow and may offer better treatment suggestions.

The poor little guy suffered through an unsuccessful attempt to insert a feeding tube. He's got some blood coming from his nostrils from the trauma of the attempt and very sore there now. He barely opened his eyes for me, and just layed his head on my hand while I scratched him and closed his eyes. My baby is worn out from the fight. I don't expect him to make it through the night, and gave instructions not to intubate him, if he has problems and doesn't respond to oxygen through a mask and stops breathing, to let him go. I can't see putting him through more discomfort just to prolong his agony.

Please pray for my boy Sammy and me tonight.
