I dedicate this journey to all who followed me on my blog.
Thank you Mommy and Daddy for loving me more than humanly possible. Make sure Clay and Olive remember their big brother as they get older.

I was told I had no chance, maybe 30 days tops. I gave them 1,317.

I truly believe everybody is put on this earth with a purpose. Mine was to inspire...

So far, 2013 has really been a struggle. I am not doing very well and poor Mommy is really getting concerned. Diane, my Hospice Nurse, is now checking on me daily to make sure I am comfortable. Mommy gives me morphine when I am having breathing issues which really seems to help. I am requiring oxygen at a very high level and my heart rate is consistently elevated. I am retaining fluids too but Mommy helps me out with that by giving me Lasix. I am very weak and rarely open my eyes. This all started about 2 weeks ago but really got worse on Friday.
To top it off, I have constant congestion issues and am having trouble keeping my nasal passages clear.
On another note, how about them Ravens! Hopefully I am back to my old self again to watch the big game in 2 weeks! Daddy promised me wings and beer. Well maybe not the beer but he definitely said I could have some wings!
