Well, I'm happy to report that Sophie seems to be perking up. She had been on a medication that she apparently had a reaction to & it was really making her sick. Doug was smart enough to look on 1800petmeds.com for side effects of the drug and when he read it, he called me and told me to stop giving it to her. The side effects read like a list of all her symptoms. Luckily she was only on it for a day and a half, but that was still 4 doses. It seems that she now has all of it out of her system and is slowly getting back to her old self.
My neighbor Cathy turned me on to cats & lamb baby food. Apparently it's really easy for them to digest and she (Sophie, not my neighbor) seems to love it. So we're trying to get her back above 5 lbs and if lamb baby food will do it - then so be it. I'm still feeding her every 2 hours and she's still getting her IV, but if her latest kidney tests come back a little better, we may be able to cut down on the IVs.
In other news, I'll be in for Spencer on Wednesday, October 1st. His show airs from 2p - 3p eastern time. You can hear the show on Sirius channel 145 or XM channel 168 or via the internet by going to: http://www.foxnews.com/radio/index.html and clicking on "Listen Live".
In the political arena, I have to say that this is the first election that I am actually surprised by the blatant lies going around about both candidates. And I'm surprised by the venom I'm hearing when people disagree on the candidates. People are really taking this personally. So along those lines, I'm suggesting you check this out:

It's a pretty educational look at Fannie & Freddie. And while you're there, you can check out some more recent editorials. I found them helpful in understanding this mess. Although I still don't know why it's my responsibility since I really had nothing to do with it.
Before I finish this, I'd like to thank everyone for their very nice e-mails about Sophie and thank you for your prayers. I promise to keep you updated. Also a HUGE thank you to EB who took the time to make me a new, Jersey-centric banner for this page. Despite being a NYer, he still respects my love of NJ.
Don't forget to watch the debates tonight and I'll see ya on the radio next week!
