Mom got to see the ICU where Buster is staying. It is very nice and he has a big, quiet, comfortable place to rest. Mom said the space was so large that there was room for her to lie down with him. She wanted to spend the night with him in there, but they wouldn't allow it. I personally think it would only help Buster to have Mom with him! I guess they have hospital rules. So, Mom is staying at a hotel near the hospital and waiting for Lara ("Buster's student") to call her in the morning with an update. Later on in the day Mom will go visit him again.
The veterinarian/surgeon is still concerned about Buster's nausea and vomiting, which is being treated with IV fluids and medicine. Until that gets straightened out, they can't feed him - and he needs to eat. The vet said that Buster's improved mood is encouraging, though. Maybe with Mom there he'll perk up even more!
Many nice humans and their dogs and cats are praying/"purraying" for Buster. Here's a nice blog that has Buster's picture posted along with a link to The Doggy Diary so that others can send words of encouragement. This world really is full of wonderful people. :)
Dear God, I miss my brother Buster. I pray that he is resting well and that he will be healed so he can come home to us. My mom and dad are worried, but they know he is in your hands. Please keep Buster comfortable and let him know how loved he is by not just his family, but by so many. Amen.
Goodnight,
Gussie
Sweet Buster
Dear Buster & Family, Remember, not a sparrow falls that God doesn't know about it and care. He cares deeply for all of us, furry ones too! More love & prayers from Beth, Beau, Henry, Zephyr & Flame
