Paddy is out of ICU!

Yes, he is out of the Intensive Care unit - he made it through the night - has responded well to his IV and he is eating and drinking (and more importantly keeping it down!).  He still has a few problems with the other end - we are hoping it settles down too.

The Vets have been on rounds - so were late calling - boy, it was causing me to get intestinal sympathy pains!  He is still there - they have done a lot of tests and they are pretty sure it is acute pancreatitis - inflammation of the pancreas - but they are not sure the cause.  So he gets ultrasound tomorrow - our poor little Paddy boy.  

The Clinician said that we should not be shocked when we see him as they have shaved him in various places to get blood/ ECG/ fluids in and out and then eventually the ultrasound.  What the hell do we care?  They can give him a Mohican for all we care -  as long as we get him back happy and alive!

We want to thank everyone for all their positive energies - it is working!
