Another Bailey Update

This morning I got a call from the nurse at the hospital saying Bailey was doing good his numbers were up and he's wanting to play and looks good and that the Dr needs to run another test around noon but it's looking like he'll be able to go home.

Of course I'm excited and nervous...I'm thinking what if he relapse.

Well....the Dr just called and said she was sorry but the nurse looked at the wrong number and though his numbers are good they haven't gone up any since yesterday so he's at a number she doesn't feel comfortable letting him go home yet (these numbers are regarding his blood red cell count)...but he is playing and doing really good, doesn't act like a sick dog at all. She said his bilirubin has gone down...it was as high as 47 and now is down to 7....normal is 0.3... he is showing signs of getting better though he's not out of the woods yet.

So far now Bailey will stay in the hospital a couple more days at least but seems to be improving and really...I don't think they really thought he would make it this far and if truth be known...either did I. Continue prayers for Bailey as he still has a long ways to go.
