light your candles

ninny has taken a downturn.
While her blood sugar is lower, it's not low enough. She's dehydrated and has a sinus infection and her arthritis is acting up. She's in the hospital for the next two days getting fluids and antibiotics. She's in the first stages of a very dangerous state called ketoacidosis. She just started acting odd late last night and I got her an appointment first thing this morning. She didn't get to see her regular doc and I didn't get to go (how much I wanted to, but the baby upsets her and she was so sick this morning) but James, her favorite person is there. And it was just better that she get in there. I sent along her favorite blanket and special food.

We'll go visit her tomorrow.

I love my grumpy old lady a lot. Please light your candles or pray for her. She's an important part of our family.

I have some pretty incense I'll burn tonight for her.

Treat conservatively, kindly and thoroughly. No heroics - she won't understand them.

that's well put. Exactly how I try and deal with my old furry folk. It's hard when you want them with you forever, but their happiness and quality of life is more important.
