Two days and $2500.00 dollars later and we have an answer.

The echocardiogram did indeed show significant damage to the heart caused by a deformed heart valve. That is the bad news, the good news is it explains the seizures because the brain wasn't receiving enough oxygen.

She will have to be on heart medications for life but right now she is responding to them wonderfully. They are discharging her from the hospital in a few hours.

The power of the paw is AMAZING!

Thank you all so much and thank you God!

Mia is resting so I am taking this time to once again say thank you for all the prayers. She's still quite weak, I guess I was hoping she would be a little more like her old self but she did manage to eat a little bit and she drank some water. She also still has a bit of a cough but her breathing is much better. So for now, we take it one day at a time and let the medications do their job.

Maybe tomorrow she can post her own little pupdate.
