ANOTHER DAY AT HOSPITAL AND VETS

Talked to Kim this morning she said she was OK but stomach still in pain, I said we would be over after taking Valley to the vets.
It seems that after a couple weeks, after we left last time to go to the Bay area, Valley started hacking at Kim and Danny's. (She stayed with them while we were gone it made it easier for visiting family). Anyway, she would really have hacking attacks, so when we got back we watched her for a couple days before calling the vet. She was hacking and couldn't breath through her nose, she would sneeze and tons of mucus like stuff would come out.(That part wasn't happening at Kim's she and Danny said) Gross, I know, but I told Kim and Danny that they should practice with the baby nose sucker on Valley, they weren't falling for that. We got Valley in today, and she sneezed as soon as we got in the room and luckily the nurse was there to see it. When the doctor got in and heard how long it had been going on and the looks of the stuff coming out her nose and she guessed that maybe it was a brain tumor. She said a sinus infection wouldn't last that long, and if it was maybe a bur/sticker she would be sneezing blood by now, so she wanted to keep Valley for x-rays and blood tests.
As the vet was telling us all of this I get a call from Kim and she says she needs to go back to the Hospital. We left Valley and out the door we run, we made it to Kim's while on the phone with Danny, telling him not to leave work until we can find out what is going on with her. We got to the hospital and checked into "Labor and Delivery" and she was hooked up with monitors. She was having mild contractions the nurse said, but touching her stomach hurt her and we don't know why. Then they gave Kim two shots to stop the contractions we waited a little while then they sent us home. The nurse had done a finger test to see if she was dilated and Kim just about yelled it hurt her so bad. The nurse said she wasn't dilated at all the cervix haded even opened up yet, so she needed to go home and rest all weekend, drink lots and lots of water and see her doctor on Monday morning. I called her cousin, Marisa, to talk to her and get her mind off of the pain, which really worked, they talked for awhile and Kim sounded pretty good.
Dave took off for Lowe's to return and buy stuff and I started cleaning Kim's kitchen and doing their laundry. It was late in the afternoon so I didn't get much done, only 5 loads of laundry and only the kitchen.
I think I am slowly catching on to the game she is playing, she has been bugging me to clean and do their laundry, she said that's what Nana use to do for all of her kids, I said no I think she only did that for Marty, not the rest of us. So if she keeps me at the house all the time and "inside" the house not outside working then I start cleaning and laundry. So she wins!! :) You know I'm just kidding.

Dave called and checked up on the dog and the vet didn't find anything in the x-rays so she said now she needs to do a cat scan and an MRI, Dave said NO NO NO! What else can we try 1st, so the vet said antibiotics and steroids for 2 weeks then see how she is doing. We decided there is no way we are going to pay $1,000 for the other 2 tests so if she isn't any better in 2 weeks we are going to put her down, we love her but we just can't afford her anymore. Enough depressing news.

Danny got home from work and around 6:45pm Kim felt a little better so we went out for Mexican food, probably not the best thing to do but that's what her and Danny do every Friday night when Kim gets off of work. At the end of dinner she was in the bathroom the whole time so we paid the bill real quick just in case we had to head back to the hospital. Will talk to them later because we dropped them off, picked up Valley and headed home.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, it seems like lately it is never boring anymore in Bakersfield, unless you think sitting in a hospital hour after hour is boring. :)
