I'm touched by all of yoru heartfelt replies. Thank you so much, it means so much to me. I'll be sure to share this thread with Spencer.

An update:
I stopped by the vet on the way in to work this morning. The doctor was very cautious in giving me a real status. While the IV helped to re-hydrate her, the blood work was not good. Elevated white cells, and her kidney and liver counts were up there as well. He will be doing a sonogram this morning to determine what is going on with her tummy. besides the outflow thingy being in the wrong spot (sorry I'm not up on my terms) there was also a mass of what the vet referred to as "soft tissue" that should not have been where it was. He wants to try to determine what it is. I did get to go see her though. She was laying quitely in the kennel with an iv in her leg. She seemed to perk up a bit when she saw me. but it's almost like she knows that it's not good. Strange as it is I could see it in her face. She just looks sad.
So here I am, waiting for the phone call from the vet. sigh.... ugh! It sucks to be me right now. But I am so grateful for all of you here. I feel your big cyber hug and it really is helping! Keep em coming.
