I'm in Billingham - just outside of Middlesbrough.

Sadly the miracle did not arrive.
His only chance was a full blood transfusion and even then the chances of success were less than 5%. He was clearly starting to suffer and I could not put him through any more.
He was put to sleep at 7pm with myself and his Auntie Jackie holding his paws.

Ang - I contacted the distant healing network and they are doing all they can to help him. Thanks for pointing me in their direction.
Sadly the news on Logan is dire - along with his liver his kidneys are now shutting down, his blood is not clotting and his breathing is becoming laboured. He is currently being kept comfortable until the results of the bloods from the liver specialist come back. However, there is really no hope for him - I will be going to the vet's shortly to be with him.
I can hardly function - my heart is breaking. Logan is my soul mate.

It has been quite some time since I posted here at the Refuge as I rarely have time for the forums anymore but my Logan is in desperate need of all the healing thoughts that can be sent.
On Tuesday last week he started to get a bit picky with his food but was fine in himself so I was not too concerned. On Friday he started to vomit and refused all food and water and was very listless and dull. We went to the vet on Saturday morning and he showing some tenderness in his stomach and was given an anti biotic injection, an anti sickness jab and some Zantac type tablets. Bloods were taken which showed a slightly high white blood cell count but nothing much else.
A return visit on Monday resulted in another anti biotic injection and I thought he might be picking up as although still very listless he had at least stopped being sick. He was still refusing food but drinking a little water/Lectade. On Tuesday he was no better so he was admitted for more bloods and X Rays. Nothing showed up on X Ray but his white blood cell count was still high and his liver enzymes were now showing a problem. He was given fluids all day and allowed home last night.
He barely moved all night and although I expected him to be drowsy after the anaesthetic he took a serious turn for the worse overnight and was rushed back off to the vets this morning.
The next step was an ultrasound to look at both his liver and his stomach, again nothing sinistar was found but despite this he is not improving and has now got a yellow tinge. Pancreatitis has been tested for and ruled out and his bloods have now been set to a liver specialist to see what he can come up with.
Poor Logan remains at the hospital in critical condition - he is being given fluids, anti biotics, anti emetics and other things to help support his liver.
Am desperately worried about my boy - he is only 6 and has gone from being a fit, healthy bouncy boy to fighting for his life within a week.
Please, please send all the positive and healing thoughts you can spare. I can't bear to lose him yet.

Guardians of birthdays, holidays and celebrations, ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.
All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.
ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.
Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive. This sometimes results in swift, immediate action taken upon a transgressor, followed by stern reprimand; ultimately, however, the prodigal is wrested from the gallows of their folly, just as the noose tightens and all hope is lost, by the very executioner!
An ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord. The contender pits self against self, once firmly deciding with the Right, then switching to Prudence to forestall hostilities, countered by unswerving Values, ad exhaustium, winner take all.
As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a dangerous place, not to be trusted. Not that the ESFJ is paranoid; 'hyper-vigilant' would be more precise. And thus they serve excellently as protectors, outstanding in fields such as medical care and elementary education.
Sounds very like me in most places.

Snap! Can't remember my scores but I also came out as ESFJ

Thinking of all those who cannot be home due to putting their lives on the line to try make the world a better place.
Stay safe.

Am so sorry - thinking of you and your family.
Run free big fella.

Sounds as if all is going well so far.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and fingers crossed for home in time for Christmas.

Fingers toes and paws all crossed here.

BRILLIANT!!!!
Out of interest (work hat sorry!) what have you thought about doing the Pass Plus?
Always intended to go straight through the Pass Plus as soon as I passed so will be doing it Mon/Tues/Wed this week. Was going to wait a few weeks but then decided to take advantage of being off work and get it done straight away.
My ADI has also offered me a free refresher lesson in 4 to 6 weeks (or sooner if needed) to run through any areas I feel less strong in when driving on my own, though secretly I think he just wants to do it so he can thump me if I have picked up any bad habits!

Had my 2nd attempt at my driving test today (well yesterday now) and am delighted to say that I passed!
Failed my first one a fortnight ago after having a 'blonde moment' at a roundabout but today I managed to bring my brain with me and despite the roads being pretty chaotic with Xmas shoppers everything went smoothly.
Have worked out it has taken me nearly 24 years to pass! 23 and a half to pluck up the courage to start learning and around 6 months to actually learn and get through my test.
To anyone still dithering about learning don't let being a bit older put you off - I enjoyed very minute of it once I started to get the hang of it and only wish I had done it years ago!

Am so sorry Di - thinking of you and Sue.
Run free handsome lad.

Run free sweetheart.

Hi Kathy
Am sorry to hear the lovely Dharma is having some problems at the moment and hope you can soon find out exactly what the cause is.
If it does turn out to be OCD give me a shout as my old guy Oscar developed it as a young dog so I know a fair bit about managing the condition.
Best of luck.

Am so sorry - run free angel.

That's just disgusting, it completely exploits those poor men.
I'm forced to go and watch again, just to be sure which bits offended me the most
I agree and am also going back for another look (or two..........)

Great to see he has settled in so well - he has certainly landed on his paws and knows it!
-
Great to see that the lovely Max is snuggled up on his own bed.
-
Still thinking of the lovely Max.
-
What a lovely girl she is - thinking of you and as has been said so many times she will let you know when she is ready.
-
Lots of healing thoughts sent - hope she makes a speedy recovery.
-
Am so sorry to hear Max is so ill - healing thoughts sent and am thinking of you and your boy.

I think it's important we all respect the 2 minutes silence. It's not just for the service man and woman that died in the 1st world war, but for every solider regardless of race, that as died before and since
Couldn't agree more.

I don't know what to say - such dreadful news.
My thoughts are with her family and many friends.
Sleep peacefully Lesley - you will be missed.
