Thanks Be To God
HE'S HOME!
They wanted to keep him one more night because they'd introduced a new heart med -- Viagra -- at about 4:00 p.m. (watch out Tucker). The fluid has cleared a great deal from his chest, his breathing is normal (for him) and we got to take him home. It wasn't exactly against medical advice because they said it would be okay either way. He will be on several medications every day for the rest of his life, but he's very happy as we are all together. After we drove in, I went in to prepare Tucker for seeing Noah, to mellow him out, sotto voce, so he didn't get too excited. Noah's to avoid strenuous exercise moving forward and that will be difficult to monitor but we certainly will. He has congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. He's a sick dog. But he's home. He sees the cardiologist again Saturday morning and we're going to be plugged in to the emergency animal hospital here for the duration. I thank God for this. And thank you all for your support. You and all my in-person friends really helped me through this; Matt also has social media friends who did the same. Thank you so very much. We're not out of the woods and anything can happen. But he's HOME.
