[Ginger's Mom]

Oh Pat, I am so sorry this hasn't been sorted out yet. I will continue to keep you and Sherman in my prayers.

[Jadapit]

I'm so sorry Sherman still isn't feeling well. I know how hard it must be on you. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.

This is so frustrating. Even the fungal tests came back negative. His old vet called back & hasn't seen any recent fungal cases in Findlay. (they had 1 case of it 4 mos. ago)

In spite of his liver & kidney tests all coming back normal (except for one liver reading), Shermans legs are swelling. They are looking into possible explanations why, as he doesnt have any other signs of liver disease or protein leaking into tissues). Sherman is spending the afternoon in the vet hospital, getting intervenous antibiotics & an ultrasound to determine if his lungs are just full of the pnemonia stuff or if he is filling with fluids, which would not be good. I had a frank (friendly) discussion with the vet about alternative hospitals to take him to, including Ocean State, Tufts, & Angell. We are going to give this afternoon's antibiotics a chance to kick in, and they'll send home more aggresive antibiotics, but if this doesn't turn him around, then.....????

(I'm skipping details, but fyi trachial wash, asperate lungs to culture, etc. were all discussed, too)

Bottom line, we still dont know what the heck is going on.

This is so frustrating.

Bottom line, we still dont know what the heck is going on.

But - I'm sure that Sherman appreciates the fact that Mom & Dad aren't about to give up!

Try not to get too discouraged ... there's bound to be a breakthrough soon.
We'll just keep sending Prayers till he gets better!

Pat, Pat, Pat...

I'm just in shock over what I've heard. I just walked in the door and Robin gave me the news, then to read it just made it so real. BIG time LES

I never in my wildest dreams believed that Sherman would be leaving this world so soon. It's not fair. Not to you guys and definitely not to him.

I know things can change over night and I will be praying that god finds it in his heart to change this. He's had quite enough fur angels here lately, surely he can spare one.

You'll all be in my prayers...

Oh my gosh. I am just in shock. I was hoping that there would be good news for Sherman, he's such a gorgeous boy, and I've loved reading all about him since I've been on PT.

If he has to go to the Bridge soon, I hope it will be quick. I know it will be painful, it's such a hard decision to make.

Take care sweet Sherman... this is way too soon for you to be going through anything like this. Gentle hugs and kisses to you, dear boy.

I'll be thinking of your family and praying that you will all find strength being together.
