sadness tonight

Feeling sad tonight. A close family member (not living in our household, but someone close to us) is in the hospital and is going to need sudden surgery this week. Also, Moriah is showing signs of heart failure in the last few days...I got so little sleep last night because I kept waking up to listen to her loud, way-too-fast breathing, and counting her respirations per minute. I called the cardiologist today and he put her on a medication to take fluid from her lungs and help her heart to function better; we hope it will improve her labored breathing. She's also not eating as much, or as efficiently. She's overtired, and fussing more...it looks like surgery is most likely, and maybe sooner than we thought. I'm not surprised by this, just exhausted and sad for all the difficult news today.
