The doctor was just in and checked on Gus. Gus seems to be in more discomfort so we have increased the pain medication.
After seven nights of sleeping in a recliner beside Gus, I am exhausted. Today they will move Gus to a room right beside the nurses station and I am going home to sleep in my own bed. I called Gloria and told her I was going home, finding L.T. (our dog), and then L.T. and I wanted a long walk.
I could never get Gus to commit to letting me bring L.T. to him to say good-bye. I am seriously thinking of smuggling her into his room this evening and at least letting L.T. say her good-bye. Any ideas on how to smuggle a 75 pound lab into a hospital? A puppy was smuggled in yesterday, but as Scott pointed out that is slightly different that what I have planned.
Gus has gone beyond every one's realm of experience here. The strength he has to continue on amazes us.

Isn't LT a "service animal"? Make him a sweater with service animal on it and a leash...
ask the hospital, when my step daughter was in the hospital they allowed us to bring our dog in for her to see... our dog was not a little dog. good luck.
praying for gus and your family.
Oh dear Kathleen. I pray you do get some needed rest. Gus really is a warrior and so are you and your family. My love & prayers go out to you and will continue. May God be so very near to you.
May my life long friend and brother rest in peace. Thanks Kathleen for taking such good care of Gus. You and the family have definitely been loving. May God touch all of you. GC
The hospital in Boise allowed pets if they had been recently groomed. I think Barrett's would allow LT in the room. I walked Barney by the hospital this morning. I wanted so much to stop and give you a hug. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you!
I am with Seaedb...I'm pretty sure that LT is a service animal! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Kathleen, it's a small hospital? Just walk in with LT on a leash and go straight to Dad's room, just like it's just another day at the hospital.. :)
