Bad times


Rollie blurped a couple of times last night just after midnight. He was OK this morning, but has blurped again tonight about 6 times. He hasn't been able to keep anything down and is hungry. It's been so long since he's had a bad day, that it's really frustrating. We certainly hadn't forgotten how to clean up blurp while half asleep, but it's been long enough that it has us really worried. We talk alot about what will come with this disease in our dog. Will his underlying disease manifest and be the cause of his death? Will he get aspiration pneumonia and die? Will his megaesophagus progress to the degree that the bethanechol can no longer control the blurping and he is no longer getting sufficient nutrients? We are thankful for every day that we have him, but we'd really love a crystal ball on this.

Sorry about the sidestep from his story. I know we haven't gotten up to present day, but I just wanted to share our worries and frustrations.
