Pray for Bailey

PLEASE pray for Bailey! He's been diagnosed with severe advanced heartworms. The aggressvie treatments that they normally do will not work on him because his heart is not strong enough. They have given him an antibiotic and a steroid along with Heartgard to try to make some progress until they can do the more aggressive treatments. He has bleeding in his lungs and has to be confined to a very small space. He can't do anything to get his heart rate up because he'll have a heart attack. He's not house trained and has never been inside so this is an experience for all of us. We have to crate him at night and confine him to the crate or the bathroom during the day. He has to go out to the potty on a leash and can't have any exercise at all. This is a very serious disease and we're trying our best to save him. Tommy and Brenda Parrish have been a huge help and have referred us to their vet, Dr. Jennifer Dixon who is familiar with this family of dogs. He goes to see her today and we'll continue trying to treat him. It is also a very expensive disease to treat. Please just pray for our family and for Bailey that we can save him and give him a chance to have the life he's never had.
