Ali update. A will to live

[jikaru]

From my thread "Ali is getting worse" I would like to thank all you well wishes for your heart felt concern and I'm sure Ali felt them too.
After a lot of emails to many organizations around the world, the general consensus was euthanasia. As you know thats not in my nature. However, I tried 4 different antibiotics that many of them suggested... A long story short, by the 4th one she began coughing up blood and hemorrhaging. Our hearts dropped so the best thing I could do was stop treatments and make her last hours as comfortable as possible. I held her the right way up in my hand under the water for over an hour... I put her in the fridge and in the morning her water was pink but she was still alive. So daily I would hold her in the water right way up for almost 2 hours, within a week she stopped coughing up blood and the hemorrhaging stopped but her tummy was still huge.
The first photo, holding her daily..... The 2nd photo, a week or so after hemorrhaging stopped, you can see her scare..... The 3rd photo is of her today..

Thank you all very much... She's a real fighter isn't she???

Thank you for your beautiful replies... I've never seen a will to live as strong as her's and I couldn't let her down.. Throughout this ordeal, she hadn't eaten for 8 weeks, but after she stopped coughing up blood she began to eat thawed blood worms.
She's not quite out of the woods yet. When she relaxes she tends to tilt sideways but always corrects herself. I think the healing part was all her, I was just there for comfort....

Thank you all again from us and Ali...
