Home!!!!

Marty was able to come home last night. He responded wonderfully to the protocol they used and they thought the emergency was over....but, the long term affects are still unknown. He has an appt for a test next Thurs where they will look at his heart and see what the future holds. He came home on 3 differect meds and is taking them like a champ. They are very nervous about damages done and about how much heart disease he has. We are too. We just want next Thurs to come to find out the answers. There is a question if Marty should have been prescribed a steroid for itchy skin 2 weeks ago by our vet due to a heart murmur he's had. The hospital is wondering if this is the cause or if it was just coincidental. We shall see. Needless to say we're alittle upset with the vet with how this has all gone down. We'll have our answers next week!!!!
Marty's been having a tough day with his belly now being upset. So...he gets to eat boiled chicken and hamburg meat...Yeah, he's not complaining anymore!!!!
Jae-min came with us last night to pick up Martin, we thought that was important because he saw the whole thing the day before and it was scary for him. Before Marty was brought out Jae-min was bouncing up and down, saying "Yay Martin, fix him" and clapping his hands. The reunion between the two was priceless!!!!!
So, for today our Martin is home safe and sound. I will admit I keep one eye on him making sure he's breathing ok. And yes, he's been getting lots of extra hugs and kisses.
Keep us in your thoughts next Thurs. I think we're going to need lots of strength to hear the news.
