We love having Wilbur home, but it's hard to see first hand how much pain he's in. He panted and whimpered through the night, although his meds certainly seem to take the edge off somewhat. We are watching closely, since we don't want mistake painful panting, for panting that's caused by worsening of his lung conditions (collapsed lung and bruised lungs).
We had shifts in the night, Quinn did the first part of the evening and I was up on and off from 0300 onward. Because Wilbur's so sore, Quinn has to carry him to the yard to do his business . . . having been pretty severely laid up myself earlier this year my heart really aches for him.
I'm not sure what Quinn has in his karma cards, but he certainly wins the gold medal for Caregiving/Nursing 2010.
Thanks again for all the thoughtful e-mails, facebook posts and calls. We are reminded of how much we're loved. Please keep your prayers coming, Wilbur can use all the help he can get (us too!).
