The Manny Diaries Part 3

Today was a lot more eventful than just laying with mommy while she works. Today I actually got to go somewhere!!! I was so excited I about jumped clear off the porch. Once I saw where we were going I wanted to go right back home. Apparently humans like to hurt us dogs with these needle things. Anyways, mommy was so nervous (whatever that means) that I would be hospitalized by next month. I tried to show the doctor how active I have been lately and it paid off. After they took my blood the doctor said he could tell I was feeling MUCH better than I was! I think he was a little amazed at how much better I was doing. Mommy had to open her mouth and tell him I was starting to itch again, which concerned him. I am now back on two pills instead of one...can we say yuck?! He told mommy that they would try doing a pulse dose where I will take it for seven days straight and then just on Saturday and Sunday after that and it would possibly be for life. He brought in a piece of paper and started talking to mommy. He said my BUN was 43.7, which was DOWN from what it was the last time we were in there. Last time it was around 60 something. My creatinine was at 2.5 which is also down from last time and cut in half. The doctor told me I did really good and my mommy just loved on me a lot. The doctor also told mommy she had been doing good as well...as if SHE is the one who has to give up all the good stuff...pssh! I have to go back next month for another check and if I'm still feeling okay then they will leave me alone for 3-6 months.  Mommy said she wanted to say a few things so here she is...

God is so good!!! He cares about what we care about because He loves US!!! I have spent many nights praying over Manny and of coarse crying my eyes out begging him not to die anytime soon. I also chose to tell him just about everyday that he was going to be okay...that was my grandmother's advice. I have thanked God for this wonderful news. The vet said he hasn't "cured" him but that he's just helped his quality of life and helped maintain it for a longer period than it would have been. I was so impressed with him because he was able to notice in his own words that Manny had a little more "pep in his step" I can't remember his exact weight but it was 27.8 or somewhere around there. The most he has ever weighed is in the 28 range so he is practically where he started. I plan to continue to pour prayer over him. I know at some point all living things pass away, but I want at least 4-5 more years although he was only given up to 3 years. God can do the impossible. His vet seemed surprised that his numbers came down because he expected him to be in the hospital next month according to his rising numbers. Now then I ask...what is impossible for God? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
