Sorry for the late post.
I got to visit Tawny this morning in the hospital. She is doing great. Everyone there is in love with her! I am convinced that she is also madly in love with all of them, too.
One of the techs said that when they get a cat like Tawny, one that was so critically ill when she/he comes in there, and then gets so much better, it is so rewarding for them, and she is such a good and loving girl, they all adore her.
She is still eating, or nibbling, on her own. She has a urinary tract infection, her pancreatits test came back in the "gray" area, her liver showed a little lipidosis (sorry if I get all this medical stuff a little skewed) but Dr. Hebert said that some of that could be that the UTI caused that or that caused the UTI, but that it is all "curable" and that her ultrasound had been boring. I am paraphrasing here in very simple, basic layman's terms, mine!
Her BGs are running 200-250, she is free-feeding, she is getting her Lantus now every 12 hrs, 1u, her normal dose.
She is up and walking, talking, loving & flipping her tail.
I have posted some pix on Photobucket and as God Is My Witness I swear the one that says it is not staged is really and truly not staged. I know you all are not going to believe this but I took some DCIN flyers to the clinic & gave one to Dr. Hebert. We were alone in a room w/Tawny (who adores the doc BTW) and when the Dr. left the room for a minute she laid the flyer down on the sofa right next to where she had been sitting next to Tawny. As soon as the Dr. left Tawny reached her arm out and put it right on top of that DCIN flyer and just stayed there like that. It was the coolest thing!

And then later when she was lying next to me using my leg for a pillow she did it again.
It's like she knows DCIN and all the rest of you are out there for her, for us.
As usual, thank you.
She might even get to come home tomorrow!
