A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

(IBD) and Pancreatitis. Doctors also said I had some liver problems as well. They put me on steroids and Chinese medicines to help me and after taking them I felt much better, but still every now and then my stomach would bloat and I would get weak. 

Wednesday afternoon, October 19th., I was rushed to ER to have a large amount of fluid removed from my chest and stomach. The doctors told my mommy I needed to stay at the hospital over night, so that they could monitor me and even though I?d never stayed at the hospital overnight, I still wasn?t scared because I was use to this sort of things. 

My health issues were like a roller coaster with so many ups, downs, twist and turns, but I was a fighter and knew I had to go through these type of things to stay alive. Despite being in and out of the hospital, I lived a happy life. My mommy did everything within her power to make sure of it. 

My life was surrounded by love and ?Team LuLu" support and I want you all to know that I fought really hard to beat this disease!!! I gave it all that I had. If you don?t believe me you can just ask my mommy and she will tell you, but unfortunately all good things eventually come to an end and my duties here on earth are all done now. 

However LuLu?s Dachshund Dairy will continue. I will continually tell my story to inspire and other dogs dealing with illness. I was so blessed to have all of your love, prayers and support during my life?s journey. All of you helped keep me going strong for as long as I did. Without all of you, I wouldn?t have ever made it as far as I did. My earthly duties may be done, but now my Heavenly duties begin as your new Ambassador of Heaven and protector. These ?Team LuLu" shirts are dedicated to all of you beautiful and wonderful people who loved and supported me. I love you all!
