ed is in rose hospital with infections

Ed was running a high fever Thursday evening, and was sent to Rose Hospital. He has a recurrence of the GI bacteria "C. dif" and a urinary tract infection and an infection in the lung secretions, so he was a pretty sick puppy when he went in.

Hopefully the antibiotics will help get the infections under control and his fever will come down a lot.

ed seems to be over his pneumonia - hope it lasts

As it turned out, Ed had a very nasty pneumonia bacteria (klebsiella), so we are very thankful that he held his own and did not run any really high fever. I think that the respiratory practitioner that we have hired to work on Ed once a day has definitely made a difference, both in his individual work on Ed to clear his lungs and in training the staff at Monaco Parkway how to use an "ambulatory bag" to expand his lungs before suctioning secretions out.

Ed does seem to be over the pneumonia - tamperature is back to normal. Now we just pray that it does not come back!
