She was just shy of 7 yrs and had Dilated Cardiomyopathy for just over a year. She also had Insulinoma for just over a year, and Adrenal Disease for 2-3 years that was being treated with Lupron and Melatonin. She was taking Benazepril, Digoxin, Diazoxide, Prednisolone and had recently started Spironolactone and injectable Lasix instead of oral. She was getting oxygen at home after the ER visit. I rented an oxygen concentrator and put the tube 2-3 inches from her nose when she was sleeping and inside her tent when she was sleeping in it.
