Day 14, Thursday, 01/10/08

Left Pancho Villa about 9:30 this morning. Goal was to get to Tucson.
Things started out poorly at 6:00 am when Gracie started puking. Thought it would pass, but buy the time we pulled out she had already gotten sick about 6 times.
Stopped in Deming, about 30 miles north, to wash the RV while Ellen went grocery shopping. Gracie got sick 4 more times while I washed the RV.
We debated about seeking a Vet right in Deming, but thought she must be over whatever it was that was upsetting her by that time.
She continued to get sick all afternoon, so we called ahead to Benson, Az information and found an animal hospital. Spent about 2 1/2 hours and $550.00 there and had to leave her overnight to stay on an IV because she was so dehydrated. X-rays showed some possible intestional issues, but we need to wait till morning for blood work to come back.
We spotted an RV park right across the street from the clinic and are there for the night.
We're worried and miss our daughter. Probably won't sleep much tonight. We'll be there right at 8:00 am when the hospital opens.
More tomorrow.
