Update on Tiggs- Friday

Tiggs is doing a little better today. He went to the hospital again last night, but when we got his blood tested, his numbers were actually looking much better. Today he is still very weak and tired, but he has been a little more alert and has been pretty bright eyed. He even wagged his tail a little bit. He is still in critical condition, but we are hopeful that he might respond to the medication. He is home with me today, and he is getting a lot of love from Winnie and I.

Please continue to pray for him and send out any happy, healthy thoughts that you can. The name of this auto immune disease is called AIHA (auto immune hemolytic anemia) or IMHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia). If you are curious about this disease, you can find some good info here: http://www.geocities.com/aihadogs/faq.htm.
