Prayers for Gibson, Please
While today was supposed to be our FiveSibes Flashback Friday post, we had an emergency here today with Gibson. He was his perky chipper self all day today, even prancing around the back yard, just being a happy Husky! After dinner, he was out lounging on the deck with his Sibesmates, and suddenly took ill this evening. He was lethargic, wouldn't move, and spacey. At first, I suspected a seizure and he was in post-ictal, but he had none of the typical signs. We rushed him over to the ER hospital. He has spiked a high fever of 106 and they are having a hard time getting to come down. It ranges between 104.7 and 106. He is wrapped in cool blankets, on an ice pad, fan on, IV of fluids, and they are starting antibiotics and fa ever reducer medication. Tomorrow (actually today in about three hours) he will be transferred to our veterinarian hospital and a discussion on exploratory surgery will be had. After many tests, Xrays, sonograms, the ER vet believes it is not Epilepsy related, but rather he tore something as all the tests show bacteria inside cells where there shouldn't be any bacteria. They also drew out blood from his belly. After five hours with him by his side in the ER, they are admitting him and I am now back home, worried, restless, missing him...I pray there is no phone call from now (4 AM) until 7, when I can come get him to transfer him as a call would be he took a turn for the worse. His body is fighting the bacteria, but the big question is where is it coming from? A tear? A rupture? Where? How? Can it be fixed? The ER nurse is concerned with sepsis.
I'm a wreck.
He is tired, he is weak, and he is fighting an uphill journey right now. We have fought many health battles together, me and my Gibson. I pray this is another we can overcome. Needless to say, I am beside myself. My beautiful boy...my heart dog... Any and all prayers and healing light and vibes sent his way are so greatly appreciated.
May my beautiful warrior boy continue his fight, feel my deep love for him, and always #LiveGibStrong.
