It means so much! Today I went and visited him again, and today he was able to walk a little bit. I took him outside on a leash, and although he stumbled a bit and fell once and the attendant ended up hoisting him up and carrying him back inside--still, it comforted me to see him. Maybe because he didn't seem so frantic and scared and so hungry to see me. I think he is calmer, which made me calmer, too. The vet says in a few more days we'll know more. So thank you for your thoughts and prayers for him. Thank you all so much for your lovely thoughts and comments. It means so much!

He is a wonderful dog and huge part of your family. We reached a point with our 15 year old dog where he was just miserable, but still so happy to see us. I hope he gets to come back home with you.

Seeing his picture..wow, what a splendid loving dog. My thoughts and prayers are with you, hoping Jordie is pain free, and that perhaps you will get a miracle and he will recover from this. If you can, find comfort in knowing he has had the best life a dog could possibly hope for with you and your family. Sigh. Sandi, my heart continues to ache for you, Jordie, and your family.
