Day one

Houston watching me get into the car this morning

Today we took Houston to the hospital.

He'd been a bit lethargic the past few days and was off his food and drinking more water than usual.
We thought he might have had some form of kidney disease as he had been born with a small left kidney.

It was decided he would need to stay in overnight to be rehydrated and have some bloods taken.

During the initial examination the Dr also found a lump in his stomach. They asked if they could ultrasound the area. We were a bit reluctant as the last time we visited with Houston they said they had found a lump, however it was never found on the ultrasound OR X-ray. All we were left with was a huge bill. We didn't want to compromise Houston's health, but we also wanted to be sure the procedure was justified.

So it was decided that we'd wait to see how the lump was the next day, and also what the blood tests revealed.

We had to leave a $250 initial payment for his stay.
