An emotional and tiring evening

Sorry the pictures are so bad but they are from my phone........

It has been an extremely emotional night!!! At this moment I have been awake for31 hours straight!!!!! My sweet little tan boy suddenly plummeted late last night and it has been a horrendous fight to keep him alive.
The problem with hand raises is that they generally have a very low immune system (as they don't get the colostrum from their mum)...........Any way it has been a night of injecting fluids under his skin, and keeping him warm. We have been to the emergency vet who can't give a reason why he crashed, but has given him some antibiotics and a pain killer. He has spent the night looking like he is in a coma.................Half an hour ago he lifted his head, and just a few min's ago he had the tiniest of drinks. I'm doing everything I can for him, I just hope it's enough.

The little girl is doing extremely well (in fact she is a little porker!!!!!!!) Their eyes are just starting to crack open the tiniest amount, so soon they will see the big wide world.
