Kiggy Update

I just spoke to Dr. Bass. He took Kiggy home with him last night to keep an eye on her. Oddly I feel even more guilty because she should have been home with us. Yet, I'm so grateful for his kindness and care in taking her home. She's doing okay this morning. He says her breathing is still labored and her heart rate is up. He's not going to tap her chest at this time because he knows it will be too stressful for her.

He sent her x-rays to an advanced medical clinic to have a radiologist read her scans. He's is leaning more towards it being cardiomyopathy. He wants to do an echocardiogram to make sure. He says there are medications that can help including a nitroglycerine gel, diuretics and other heart medicine.

I hope I can pick her up today.
