Wed 14 Dec

Jordan is doing okay this morning, breathing somewhat shallow but able to get up and move around a little better than last night. Hopefully a good, solid dose of medicine and fluids will further strengthen him today.

My cold is trying very hard to establish itself, but I'm still fighting back. I debated this morning between an extra hour of rest and exercise, and this time exercise won out. I think it was a good choice.

Damn, I think the cold is gaining ground.

Vet called just before the end of lunch to say Jordan is not doing well. His body temperature has dropped to 92° (normal is 101), his gums are turning blue so they have him in an oxygen tent. We're going at 5:30 to pick him up.

We got to spend a little time with Jordan petting him before the end. He was breathing very shallowly, but it was nice that we could pet him and show him we love him. The house seems emptier already.
