Update on Abbybell

Well... i don't really know where to begin, so i am just going to start by saying, even though we only had Abbybell for a few days, we were so attatched, we loved everything about her! she made us feel complete! she was the best little dog ever! she was doing soo good a potty training and we were getting so excited to start classes with her in August. She was so sweet and liked every one right away! She would just curl all up in our laps and lay there for hours! Yesterday morning they called and told us that she wasn't getting better but she wasn't getting worse, that Hopefully Monday or Tuesday we would be taking our little Abbybell home! I went home for lunch and saw that the guy we got her from was home so i went over and told him about what we have gone threw, and how much we already love her as if she was a kid. He then went on to tell me how he is trying to save 3 in his backyard (you can't save them, only the vet can if it isn't too late) We had talked about getting a fence put up as soon as possible, the guy said if we bought the supplies he would only charge us $100 to put the fence up. Well we weren't going to have them do it, (If you saw their fence you would know why) So as i was talking with him yesterday he said that we could just buy the supplies and they wouldn't charge us at all to build the fence (that was supposed to help with the cost of the vet's) i went on my way after he offered me another dog with parvo if mine didn't make it. NO WAY, i can't believe he just offered that. I had to run back to the store and i was talking to my father in law about how i was going to pay for the Vet's bill and he asked if i had talked to Jeff. i knew then that something was VERY wrong, i called Jeff and he told me that the Vet had called and that she had made a turn for the worse and that they didn't think she would make it for another 12 hours. I couldn't sleep all last night, i tossed and turned and just was wanting it to be time to get up so i could wait to get the Vet's call. This morning about 8:45 he called my phone, he said that 2/3 they can save but this one had gotten into the lungs and heart and she had passed away early this morning. It just breaks my heart, we only had her for 4 days and we were already so in love. We are going this morning to go see her before they take her away. i never thought i could get attatched like this and so quick, but you dont know until you go threw it. We will miss our little girl but know that she is in a better place! I can finally feel comfort knowing she isn't suffering anymore. We will miss you abbybell, and you will always be in our hearts!

Abbybell

In the last post i talked breifly about our new addition (Our puppy) Abbybell, i talked about how we just found out she has parvo. The doctor told us originally that she would have to stay with them for at least 3 days before we could take her home, well every day either the doctor calls us or we call him, yesterday he told Jeff that she was doing better then she was when she came in, but we would still have to wait a few days before we could see her, because she would get too excited and chew up her ivs, he said as long as it didn't spread to her heart that she would probably make it, either is still a small chance she could die. Today Jeff called the doctor and they said she is worse then when we brought her in the other day, Today has been 3 days and he said she has to get worse before she gets better, he says we probably won't find out if she is going to make it until this weekend. he says normally if they can make it the first 48 hours they have a better chance of surviving. Jeff asked if Abby would be happy and playful when we get her back and the doctor said "no, she will be very weak, she is only on ivs, so they havent given her any food, she will be very skinny, and not have any energy." We are praying that we get her back soon! (My nieces and nephews are already in love with her too and will think we killed her, if she does come home soon.) She is like our kid, while we can't have one. We haven't had her too long and are both soo attatched to her. Get Well Soon Abbybell! We love you.

PICTURES! i wish i could post all of them!

so i haven't had much time to download all my pictures on to the computer yet, but i finally got a minute to do so, so i am finally posting pictures of what we have been up to this summer! We got to go to a Giants game, and stayed with my Dad's aunt and uncle, they are the greatest people ever! we were so spoiled by them, and had our own little suite, and our own swimming pool and everything. We also went to Six Flags while we were there too! for the Fourth of July we spent most of the day hanging out with Jeff's family so there are a few of the nieces and nephew, then, this last Friday I kind of surprised Jeff with a date to Crater Lake, it was so nice and peacefull up there, we walked around and took lots of pictures and then had a pinic in the car, and then drove around the rim of Crater Lake to discover this waterfall at the end! Friday night when we got back we decided to get a puppy! we bought her from our neighbor and named her abbybell, you can tell she has not been taken care of so we took her in and thought we were doing good, until the last couple nights she has been throwing up so we took her in today to the vet she weighs, 6.6 lbs, and has parvo, we are going to our neighbor to try and get our money back, she is really sick, most dogs die from it, but hopefully the vet can save her. She is supposed to stay there for 3 days, we already miss her! Also my oldest sister Shirley is in town with her 5 kids so my mom's house has been PACKED! a have only gotten a few pictures of her kids,(Carter)(Kayli) not all of them(Mark) either, as soon as they get back from the coast and i have a minute i will have to get more pictures of them. well i thought this was only going to be pictures but i guess not, anyways enjoy these pictures!

911 TO THE RESCUE! (LONG STORY)

so about 1:30 this morning Jeff wakes me and tells me he is low. He says he is going to go downstairs to get something to eat. Well the last few weeks he has been getting low at night and catching it. (i figure it's from walking at night and then not eating before going to bed) So anyways i thought okay he has caught it, he will come back to bed in a minute. So i started to go back to sleep and my instincts tell me to get up and go make sure he is okay, i hear him down stairs opening and closing all the cupboards, well when i got down there he was standing in the middle of the kitchen and having a seisure. He could still kind of talk at first but then it started getting worse, i didn't have orange juice (stupid me) or anything really for that matter, we do have the tablets but he won't take them. I didn't know what to do, i know you aren't supposed to put anything in their mouth if they can't hold it themself. So i called 911, what else am i supposed to do? They came and by that time he had stop with the seisure and was getting himself food, well we finally tested him and he was 24. you are supposed to stay between 70 and 120. The guys couldn't leave until they saw his blood sugar go up a lot. Jeff always embaressas me when he does this and they have to come because he still doesn't understand what he is saying half the time. He kept asking them if we were going to be billed for all this, (i knew from experience that we weren't thats why i called them.) So we ended up staying up until about 2:30 before i felt he was up enough to go back to sleep. They guys had tested him again and he was at 48 when they decided to leave but had to make sure i made him a sandwhich and that he kept eating. They left me some gel stuff just incase. I know i really need a needle but i get so scared to use them. I think it's time i TOUGH up though, these nights like this scare me to death. That was last night but this has happend twice before, ONCE ON THE NIGHT WE GOT MARRIED. i thought my husband was already dying on me, (that was the worse night EVER). It happend one other time when he didn't wake up and i think i took care of that one pretty good. I did wake our parent's up but i did everything all by myself. That time he had hit his head when he rolled off the bed. So that was my EARLY morning.
Time for church now.
