Queso

Hi everyone... I wish that this update came with better news... I started out my day getting on a plane to go to Omaha for my annual work meeting. Julie started hers out getting ready for work and preparing herself to bring Queso home by herself because we were finally told that he could come home to us! I was sad that I couldn't be there but sent her texts and emails throughout the day assuring her that she could do this!! As I was landing in Omaha at around 5:15pm today, I missed a couple of calls from her and called her back within a few minutes. She was waiting in the waiting room for the vet staff to change his bandages, like they have done every day for the past couple of weeks, and he went into cardiac arrest. They did everything that they could but could not save him. I'm sorry that I can't bring myself to say much more at this point but I wanted to let everyone know how unbelievably humbled and grateful that we have been for all of your love and support. This was completely unexpected and is so overwhelming. Again, we appreciate all of you more than you will ever know. I will try to post more info tomorrow and especially want to thank Amanda Relle, Erin Delany and Kacie Braud for being there tonight with Julie and Sophie Jo since I couldn't be there myself... RIP my sweet little prince.

Hola amigos! I have lots of updates for all my fans! So yesterday was pretty tough. I was supposed to be able to go home when my mom came to visit me but I have some bacteria in one of my wounds that requires medicine that isn't good for my liver so I have to stay in ICU for 5 more days on an IV. The IV is now around my neck to get the meds in my system better which is what the bandage is in the pic below. Regardless, we had a great visit and I even showed her how I am leaning to stand on my braces! Just check out how proud I am in my pic! My moms came to visit me tonight and brought my sister Sophie! I was so excited! I just wanted her to know I was ok and coming home soon! They also brought our October Bark Box and I had some delicious treats! I was eating them up like crazy! I ran out of chicken and gave in to eating that hospital dog food ugh! But I know I need the nutrients and am doing everything I can to get better and return home to my family! My vet is looking into some alternative meds so I can get outta here. Wish her luck and please keep praying for me and supporting my family! See y'all soon! Q

HAPPY GAME DAY EVERYONE! I just wanted to give an update on my progress before I go watch the game with Mike! I am still in the hospital receiving antibiotics via my IV and have a catheter in so I will be here a few more days. My surgeons are trying to get me off of the IV but having trouble finding a good antibiotic that won't hurt my liver. Hopefully we will get some good news when my labs come back on Monday. Otherwise I am doing pretty good! My favorite vet Sam wakes me up every morning and i get lots of rotisserie chicken (i mean seriously why would i eat dog food when i have a whole chicken in the fridge) then we go outside for a bit and she is teaching me how to get used to my bionic legs. I can't walk on them but I am trying to stand. I have stitches across my belly and the bandages came off today. Now I have to wear a stupid cone head because I want to lick them. Well they itch people, what am i supposed to do??!! My mom's visited me yesterday and brought me a doggie pina colada smoothie and it is so delicious! I don't like the taste of my meds so Sam gives me some so it will taste better. Mama Julie visited me before she went to work this morning and i was so exhausted I fell asleep while we were Face Timing my grandma Cindy. I also got to Face Time Mama Jai! Ok, I gotta go get the salsa music ready for our tailgate! Thanks for all of your prayers and support for me and my family during this hard time. Mucho amore! Q www.gofundme.com/queso
