Our Martin....

Our Martin is sick....very sick. After one of the longest, worst nights of our lives, I took my little buddy to an emergency clinic this morning and he was in complete heart failure when we arrived. They rushed him back to their rooms and put him in an oxygen cage and have been giving him meds ever since. Our Martin had trouble breathing all night and some medicine he was taking for itchy skin may have contributed to his heart failure. Our Martin is fighting to stay with us....
It's been a long difficult day around here. The doctors are hoping he responds to the meds in the next few days and then will do another test next week to see what the future holds for our little buddy. We are able to call and check on him, and so far he's doing well. Thank goodness.
I knew Martin wasn't invincible, but what I didn't know was how much of a fixture he is in my everday life. Now that I stay at home with Jae-min Martin follows me everywhere. It's been a hard night, expecting him around every corner and in the middle of every activity, but he wasn't there. Not to mention the heartbreaking words of one little 2 year old...."Martin home" and then after explaining where he is that little 2 year old saying "fix him"
That's how we all feel......please oh please fix him!!!! We're not ready to let him go yet. We know that to many Marty is "just a dog", but to us he's so so much more.
I'm not even sure who reads all my ramblings anymore, but if your out there please say alittle prayer for Marty and for us that we all make it through this with our little buddy intact!!!!!
