Could use some rays for tomorrow

[Dee Dee and Hallie]

Hallie has her neuro appointment at 9 tomorrow morning we could use some rays that at least he doesnt' think it is the spinal cord dilation thing. I don't know if or what he'll want to do tomorrow she seems to be feeling well overall. It just keeps happening so often something has to be figured out. I am having a horrible time myself I've been to more drs and specialists than I've seen in my whole life and still more to go (5 within the next month) and they still aren't sure what's going on. I am exhausted and weak and can't eat or sleep (or breathe!) I've never felt like this and I am desperate to be healthy for my Hallie so I could use some rays too. Up until Jan of this year Hallie and I were doing great! Things can change so fast.

I have the problem of no one to sit with Hallie for me while I go to the Dr appointments I won't leave her home alone with her back like it is and it is too warm in the car not to mention I don't leave her unless i can see the car and then it's never for long. So they let me bring her into the Drs office with me yesterday which was really nice of them.  She didn't give me a treat when I was done like I do with her on her 3 week allergy shot visit.

[Delia and girls]

Tons of rays from here to there. Keep us posted. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but things will get better. Looks like Hallie will have to go shopping for human treats for your Dr visits. I can just see her..."I had some cookies for ya, mom. I don't know what happened to 'em." As she wipes her mouth off. "Got some water?....got a little something in my throat that I need to wash down."

Rays and prayers coming from Iowa. Hoping for good news from dachshund and human doctors!

Gee DeeDee it is so frustrating when the human doctors cannot find out what is wrong with you even more so with the vet's for the Fur Kids since they cannot talk. I sure hope you both find out what is wrong with you both Mega Rays & Hugs from Oklahoma Buddy,Patches & Papbouv

Dee Dee it sounds like STRESS.......................to-morrow I will pray and only wish one of us on the board could be with you in person, no matter what happens, knowledge makes you stronger.
If you need to go to a DR I know it is hard, put her in a crate facing where you leave, looking out her window, leave her with something of you so she knows where you are, and she will also see you return, try it a few times and get her to know you are coming back, and she can see you come back. Then go to your DR or specialist Ms H can come to no harm, or you could do what I once did on a 40C day took Emma and Angus and left them in a under ground car park engine running, air on, I told the attendant ,gave him my mobile and locked the car with the spare keys and went to the orthodontist, or hire a person to just sit with her, or drop her at the vets. The main thing is for YOU to be helped then you can help her.

The first day I left Amy in her playpen I died a thoushand deaths imagining what could happen to her, when we got home she was asleep, "OH ho hum ma's home" she is more resiliant than you think..................

So girlies go go go  to-morrow and  as you will have all of us behind you.

All our love DA gang

OH Dee Dee, I am sorry to hear that. I pray they figure out what is going on fast!! Roberta is right, you need to get better for Hallie. Things will turn around fast and the two of you will be off taking those wonderful pictures again. Please know that I am praying and sending rays your way. What have the doctor's told you so far? Anything? It almost sounds like mono. I had it really bad in High School. I hope that isn't it but at least with that you know it will soon be over.

I'm sure much of it is stress, I always say I don't think I could survive losing her but we aren't there yet certainly and it is an awful feeling to not be at 100% for her. So far I have had a full heart check (they said I had slight long qt but in the end the cardiologist said probably not) then thought diabetes which turned out not, then sure I had asthma....(my main complaint is not being able to breathe! I can't get a deep breath often) so did an xray and pulmonary test at the hospital and it came back OK except for severe loss of capilaries or something so going to a pulmonologist June 17 but tomorrow morning am getting a lung ct scan...have 4 more dr appointments in the next 4 weeks, had tons of tests and no conclusions yet...weak, no appetite, can't sleep  the dang breathing thing, etc just very strange never had any of this before and it did all start when Hallie had her biggest episode in Feb. But still some results that don't fit anxiety so who knows I'm just really tired of all this and my biggest worry is being able to take care of Hallie of course. My breathing and all got way worse again when she went through this last bout Friday, was getting better before that. I just need her to be OK.

She is feeling great right now though, she is so happy to be out of the crate she tries to go her usual 100 mph from point a to point b, I am going to buy 2 more x pens and set them up out the back gate so she won't have access to her entire back yard unless I'm with her because she keeps having runny attacks and diggie attacks in the garden (which are so hilarious and I love them but way to afraid to let her do that anymore). So I am going to curtail all I can without taking away all her fun as much as possible. Even after our long day at the neuro today, when we got home she was rarin' to go she is one girl who needs to get out and socialize every day. I took her to Rite Aid so we could pick up her prescription so that got her out some.

She broke my heart when we got home I just collapsed into bed and fell asleep Hallie turned herself upside down on top of me and tucked her head up under my chin as far as she could she is so precious, it reminded me of when she sat on my feet the night I had to go to the ER she was trying to get me to stay. So I'm trying hard to stay upbeat for her they really pick up on stuff.

Roberta I keep tossing back and forth to take her with me and let her stay in the crate in the van or leave her home...like you I am so afraid of what she'd do since I've not left her home in a crate ever. She does fine in the van she is used to it. It will be morning and sun isn't supposed to be out, I will be able to see the van from the window in the waiting area so will only be out of my sight for 20-30 min. I'd rather leave her home but I know she'd be so stressed in a crate at home here. I'm still not sure what I'll do...

I wish we all lived closer too I'd sure be there to help anyone out who needed it too.

[Roberta]

have thought about giving her some sedative, just for that time you realy realy have to go out, some phenergan. It is not really long lasting. Would the vet have heer even if you have to pay to put her in for a few hours.
Aren't they precious when they do the I only want ot be with you.
Now SLEEP

PS Auntie DEe Dee if I wuz  is a crate all f=day and they finally let me out I would want to run run run. Oliver

Dee Dee,

Sending mega healing rays for both you and Hallie to get better fast.  Do what you need to with Hallie. Take her in her stroller if if makes you feel better.  Less stress the better.  I truly hope things get better fast!!!!!

Not to worry you I hope but I think Miss Halie would do better at home in a crate or meet with some professional Pet Sitters find one you and Hallie really like. They are suppose to be bonded to be able to work in peoples homes, the reason I say this not very long ago someone was at a motel with their Masstiff pup and going to a dog show she left the dog inside her van or SUV in a crate she was gone just a few minutes some one stole the dog. Broke the window and dragged the pup out of the crate and was gone.A few days later she got the pup back sorta hard to hide a Masstiff all this was on the Doberman forum I go too.My neighbor is a Pet Sitter she also does Greyhound rescue she is a very busy woman.Dogs really should not be left in cars this time of year can get HOT quick for a Long Hair Black dog. I hope I did not upset you not my intention I just wanted you to know of that possibility if Miss Halie stays in her stroller heck take her with you call and ask tell them the dog has been ill or something.Wished i lived closer too I would love to take care of her.Mega Rays Hugs to you from Patches Buddy & Papbouv
