doggy update

According to the vet, Phin has an infection that is likely causing tightness/inflamation in his digestive tract, and he probably has a pyloric valve issue which the tightness/inflamation from the infection exacerbated, so no food was leaving his stomach.
The vet gave him a heavy antibiotic and something to make him stop throwing up. She also put him on prescription dog food.
She wasn't worried about the dog dying or anything, so that's the good news. I am still concerned, but a whole lot less.
Well, the baby showers were awesome, and I have 704 thank you notes to write, so the postings will be slim for awhile.
I have such a difficult time getting my brain around so much kindness and good will, and then there's the sheer excitement that surrounds the birth of a baby.
Pam's shower started this morning at 8:30, and I can see by all the white space on this page that I am still overwelmed; perhaps I will be able to sum up the showers tomorrow.
Right now, it's all too much.
