I was in full dogtor mode for Mom this weekend - she had her fifth attack of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) in the last 2 months and although she really needed to go to the hospital she said going there scared her more then the pain. So with Dad's help we tucked her up in bed, gave her lots of pain and other meds and I stayed right by her side at the ready when ever she needed something and provided my soft head when ever she needed to scratch it - it took her mind off the pain. It was a ruff weekend for us all - Dweeb got uba scared cause he senses Mom pain and it frightens him - he frets and worries and that makes his tummy upset too (and peeps wonder why I call the Dweeb!) I am happy to report my EXCELLENT dogtoring skills worked and Mom is feeling better this morning. We are probably going to have a lazy week though as all the spasms Mom has leave her whole tummy feeling really bruised for a few days - that is okay - we are expecting the first 100 degree heat this summer so staying home in the air conditioning is not a bad thing.

ReplyDeleteSOrry to hear your mom had such a rough weekend, but you are such a good boy Reilly. You are the best medicine for her for sure.

Wow, you guys make good nurses. My dad's friend has IBS too and sympathizes with your mom. We're glad that she feels better. We don't think that we could take 100 degree weather. It's been getting up to 81 degrees up here in the Pacific Northwest and that's too hot for us already.
ReplyDeleteReilly, it was because of you that your mom recovered so quickly! Enjoy that a/c!!

We know your mom will feel a whole lot better soon with tons of help from her very special boys!

You guys just keep taking care of your mum. We know she feels better at home than in a hospital. We'll keep our paws crossed that she's up and ready for walks at YOUR park soon.

Hoping your Mom feels better soon. Please tell her that pain killers actually cause constipation (Vicadin, etc)...I am hoping that they aren't a double edged sword
ReplyDeleteGlad your momma is feelin better.

Not a fun way to spend the weekend, and I am sorry that's how it was spent. Glad to hear she is feeling better now though!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your mom has been poorly but it sounds like your nursing skills are working. I've been trying to be a good nurse like you guys for my mom. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteOh boys so sorry mum is feeling awful again...and she must bevery tired of this..luckily you were there to help..and yes some pups do pick up on their peeps being unwell or in pain..so hugs not only to mum but the Dweeb as well.loves and hugs Fozziemum xxx
ReplyDeleteCrikey ...... not again!!!!!! So pleased she didn't have to go to hospital this time and you could be with her to make her better. Look after her and I hope she's feeling a lot better real soon.
ReplyDeleteYour poor, poor mom. We hope she is feeling all better soon.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that sounds so awful! It really makes one thankful to be healthy. Mom would be too scared to go to the hospital too. Take good care of her and hope she feels a lot better real soon.
