Here is
the latest as of 7:00 A.M. Thursday.
Bonnie remains in the care of the medical staff at UC Davis facility just
north of San Diego and the staff at Veterinary Specialty Hospital/CritiCare
facility that it is attached to. The UC Davis group has one of the only two
blood dialysis machines for pets on the West Coast and only one of four in
the United States. Both are fantastic facilities with wonderful staffs tat we
are getting to know quite well.
We were told Wednesday afternoon and again at about 10:00 P.M. that
Bonnie was resting well in the Veterinary Specialty Hospital. She received
her second dialysis treatment during much of the day yesterday. The nurse
who administered the treatment told us that they were able to bring
Bonnie's blood toxins down to normal by the end of the treatment. She also
said that Bonnie handled the treatment very well and got some needed
rest while being treated. The nurse also said that Bonnie licked her hand.
Because of the blood results from the second dialysis treatment Bonnie
will have a day off from the treatments today and get some rest. She is
scheduled for her third dialysis treatment on Friday. The specialists still
hope that the hemodialysis process will filter out the toxins and allow
Bonnie's kidneys to start healing themselves.
We still are facing the fact that Bonnie she could still go either way. There
are a lot of secondary problems that have been caused by the "poisoning"
that are being controlled by the Veterinary Specialty Hospital staff. There
is also a possibility that her kidney will not recover.
We are still awaiting a prognosis. It will be sometime before that is
possible.
Thank you and keep praying!!!
Don & Pam
