misfoksAnother visit tonight. Despite reduced pain meds, she was just as unconscious as last night, barring three instances where raised her head slightly and opened her eyes. She was so out of it from the drugs that she didn't seem to acknowledge anything around her, and soon settled back into unconsciousness.
At that point the status was that she was still making slower progress than they'd like, but progress all the same. Then at 10pm I got a call from the on-duty vet that she'd begun deteriorating around 8pm with increased fluid in her stomach and blood seepage which they feared was in her abdomen. I'd actually noticed a brownish mucous discharge in her mouth while I was visiting and pointed it out to the vet tech; I guess that was symptomatic of her decline. They're going to try more plasma, but her chances are now back down to about 10-15%. We may lose this battle.
I've never really known what to think of the efficacy of prayer or positive thinking, but if ever there was a time to try it, now seems as good as any.
