Lola the Pug and Puppy Update

My brother is such a great daddy! He went to visit Lola when he got into town and then again last night and spent a couple of hours with her. He got her to eat a full bowl of food and took her out to go potty, he even brought Lola's nurses some donuts to give them a sugar fix and to tell them how thankful he is for them taking such great care of her. Lola is doing very well, she is still on IV fluids and antibiotics, but I think it really brings her up to see Justin. We are going to go see her today again and see what the game plan is. Justin and Karenza got to also snuggle with the little puppy last night for a little bit and they are thinking of naming her Isis after the Greek Goddess. Here is some info about what the name means:
Isis or in original more likely Aset (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις) was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshiped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the matron of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers.[1] Isis is the goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility.
The goddess Isis (the mother of Horus) was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and was born on the fourth intercalary day. At some time Isis and Hathor had the same headdress. In later myths about Isis, she had a brother, Osiris, who became her husband, and she then was said to have conceived Horus. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set. Her magical skills restored his body to life after she gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Seth.[2] This myth became very important in later Egyptian religious beliefs.
Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children from whom all beginnings arose. In later times, the Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris. This occurrence of his death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era.

That being said I think its perfect for that little girl puppy. He picks awesome names that mean a lot and it took him a while to come up with this because he wanted her name to be perfect.
The Dr. said this morning that Lola is doing well and they are going to do blood work again at 6 PM tonight and then we will go from there if she can come home or if she will have to stay another night. Just waiting but we want to make sure we do what is best for her and the puppy regardless of the cost. I love you bud, and I am so thankful that you take such good care of her. I wouldn't want her in better hands than you! I know that this is so hard for you, but just know that you always have her best interest in mind and you are such a wonderful daddy.
