A Sense of Doubt blog post #3908 - Letter to Dad #008 - Meaningful Numbers & Ellory is Sick

Hi Big Guy,

Short letter this week. I am very busy with my one job and with the last week of my graduate school quarter. I am delaying taking the second of my final exams until I get this post done because I already posted tomorrow's post.

I am also busy because I have been to the vet twice in two days with Ellory for her to have fluids and an anti-nausea injection.

Ellory has had ongoing stomach problems for a long time. Recently, it got worse with vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. I had always had to coax her to eat, especially in the morning and usually just in the morning, but that had increased in frequency, too. I delayed taking her in because I was scared, but I also thought that since it was coming and going that it was just her age and her sensitive stomach. We stopped daily cucumbers back in the summer as we worried they were upsetting her stomach.

She ate a good dinner on Tuesday night the 28th, but then Wednesday morning the 29th, she only ate a little breakfast. We walked at the marina Wednesday, and she drank water after the walk. But then I did not see her drink again and she refused to eat anything, even treats. Thursday (today by this date and time stamp of this post) I called the vet and took her in for fluids and the injection. When she still did not drink the rest of the day Thursday and all day Friday, I took her back Friday the 31st for more fluids and another injection.

It's Saturday 11/1, and I am happy to say I got her to drink this morning without having to squirt water into her mouth with the syringe the vet gave me.

Ellory had puppy lupus, hence the scab on her nose. The vet says this digestive issue is something else. We are running a full GI panel now. The fecal sample I took was negative.

I am very worried about my baby girl, Ellory.

I tell her every night, Dad, how much you loved her and how much she loved her grandpa (you).

It took me some searching to find the numbers related to your death, but I know I wrote about them somewhere.

Here they are:

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3580 - "It Doesn't Matter If We All Die" - 100 Years - 100 Days Since My Dad Died

REPRINTED

I have written about the 28s and the numbers in the deaths of my parents.

Mom died on 7/4/2015. Seven times Four = 28. Dad died on 8/28/24.

Our first full day here in PACNW was 8/28/17 as Dad drove me and the dogs here.

He moved into Friendship Village on 8/28/20.

He died there 8/28/24.

Dad turned 28 the year after I was born.

That's not as good of a 28 in this story of numbers, but it's close to the other significant numbers in the series.

ADDED

As my mind reaches for meaning, I think about you being born in 1935. Three plus five is eight.

You were born 6/26. 6+26 = 32, a multiple of 8 and 4.

That's all I have today.

I am worried about Ellory.

Love you, BG.

love,

chris

- Days ago: MOM = 3773 days ago & DAD = 427 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
