A Looooong Interesting Day

Our Friday afternoon was great! We had a Dr. appointment and got to hear the babies heartbeat again...no ultra sound though. We were surprised to even get to be able to hear the heartbeat! That has become my favorite sound. She said that everything is growing perfectly normal. The babies heartbeat is right on track and so is my belly and weight. :) So that was all great. THEN.... our evening was entirely different!
I came home to a destroyed house and an unconscious dog, not Bauer, but Champ (Lynne and Bill's dog). We have been dog sitting while they are in Louisiana. Anyway, Champ, at some point in the day decided to somehow get his cookie bag (which included a bottle of his seizure pills) off of the counter. He then ate all of the cookies and attacked the pill bottle. He must of went on a crazy high and bounced all over our house until finally crashing on the floor. He was out...breathing, but completely out. We rushed him quickly to the vet where they preceded to tell us that they believe that he injested roughly 50 pills out of the bottle and that they could do nothing. We had to take him to an emergency pet hospital in Grand Rapids. After being in Grand Rapids for about 1 1/2 hrs. while they examined him, we finally had to call Lynne and Bill. It was the worst phone call we could ever make. The vet told us that there was a chance he wasn't going to make it. There were a few procedures they were going to try but not to get our hopes entirely up. We left him there at the hospital last night. Since then he has been hooked on IVs, and has been closely monitored after having a few different procedures done. We call every 8 hours to get the updates. The last one was the best. The Dr. said she was very happy because he was making great progress. Still not up and moving around, but showing sure signs of improvement. They are going to keep him again over night to keep him on fluids but she is hopeful that he will come home sometime tomorrow. Bill is on his way back from Louisiana. We feel horrible that this happened in our care.
All the while we were waiting on the news of Champs condition, we just kept thinking about how scary this kind of stuff will be with a child. Not sure if I'm ready for all the worry. I hear it doesn't end now for the rest of your life.
