    We went to see him again tonight. This time his IV line was on his other paw and the paw from yesterday is unwrapped. They brought him to us in an exam room this time instead of us going back to his cage area.

    No going home yet. His levels still aren't what they're supposed to be so he's now scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow morning. If it comes back that he needs surgery or something, I have no idea what we're going to do.....

    You'll do what's necessary for dear Logan, ask for a payment plan, and let us know the vet's phone # and address so we at PT can help.

    God willing, he won't need any surgery - maybe just some sub q's to get his system cleaned out.

    HUGS and huge PT Prayers going out for Logan and you.

    We still have CareCredit going. We got it at the hospital a little over 2 years ago when Chipper was there. We have been paying for I think 25 months now and next month would have been his final payment on his bill. Of course this now happens with Logan so we'll have to add whatever thousands of dollars onto it that this hospital stay is going to cost us and keep paying on it for a few more years.

    Man, we were so close to paying that thing off....

    I'm late getting here and I'm so sorry. Please accept my prayers the thoughts for dear Logan. Come one sweetie, you've got to fight and get those numbers where there should be.

    {{{hugs}}} to you Kim and Andy. I can only imagine how stressful this is for you.

    MSU called. Good news and bad news. Logan ate a little more after we left, but he also pulled his catheter out last night.

    They ran another blood test and his values did come down a little more. His temperature is slightly elevated (103.2) but that could be due to stress. If it doesn't come down, they'll administer antibiotics. His ultrasound is scheduled to be around 3 p.m.

    I'll be visiting him around 5:30.

    MSU doesn't offer payment plans. It's to be paid in full when Logan is discharged. We'll use the Care Credit card, but our limit is $4,800. Right now we're looking at over $2,500.

    I'm so sorry to hear that Logan is still at MSU but I'm glad that he ate more and that his values have come down a bit more. Hopefully his temp will also improve. I know how it is to receive large vet bills and hopefully he won't need surgery. Logan remains in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    BIG PRAYERS for Logan, that if he DOES have anything that it's cured quick, and mostly that he can come home soon where he will feel better more quickly!

    No, he's not home. And we have no idea when he'll come home. Like Andy said, his levels aren't coming down and I guess they should of been normal by now. The questioned us intensively about his food, litter, habits, ect. to see if they can get an idea of what caused this.

    They say sometimes stones don't show up on the x-rays, so they are going to do an ultrasound. If there are stones, he'll need surgery. He only ate a tiny bit for me tonight.

    I'm so tired and stressed. I just want him home.

    Prayers for you and Andy...so stressed and exhausted.

    Logan sure knew who you were , though - take heart.

    Prayers that this will be very treatable; if surgery is necessary, you know you have your PT family here with you.
