Turning around...
Dr. Beal called at 6 a.m. and apologized for waking me (it was okay actually because I slept through the alarm...had he not called I'd likely be late for work 
).
Anyway he said he just had to call because he was so excited. Chipper is doing MUCH better!! 
They gave him some medication last night and he perked right up! He showed interest in food (nearly stole one poor nurses lunch 
), and when given a little dog food, he wolfed it right down and kept it down. No vomiting at all. Had some diarreha but no blood in it.
They are still waiting for the results of the blood tests they were doing yesterday and he'll be seeing an internist. I should be hearing from the internist by 11 a.m. Because of his reaction to the medication they feel without a doubt that it's Addison's, but the internist will know for sure.
Based on the internists opinion, Chipper will either come home today or will stay one more night and come home Friday.
Andy and I swung by the clinic on the way to work this morning and Chipper pranced into the waiting room, tail high, butt wiggling, looking so very much alert. He leapt into my lap and covered me with kisses. It was so great having the old Chipper back.

I'm so glad you took him, because if you haden't, who knows what would have happened to him. I bet the rescue orginization or foster home would never have invested this much time or money into him.
