Morning everybody. I just spoke to the clinic staff and Tori is hanging in there. She's stable-her fever has come down and he BG is 234. Probably it's a very good thing that we didn't give her insulin last night. She might have tanked if they had. She's still not eating. Bloodwork will be drawn. That's all I know for now. I''ll be going to see for a while this afternoon after I get some sleep and before I pick up Ayanna from Playschool. I had originally planned to go this morning but to be honest I just can't stay awake and would be a hazzard on the road.

Please keep my baby in your thoughts and prayers. I will update this afternoon.

Many thanks to the KTSS for going and sitting with Tori last night it meant so much to both of us. Having my baby covered in the love of the Board made it feel that she was safe and taken care of while I was working and worrying.

Hoping she comes home soon :YMHUG:
 
Re: 2/23 Tori Hospital Update-Day 2

So glad her fever is down! Now to get her to eat, although Karrie makes a good point, some cats just don't eat at the vet. Fingers and paws crossed for helpful test results.

I am sending tons of snow flake blankets and white lights to Tori tonight. Tori, stay strong, girl. We are all pulling for you and want you to get better!! Be on the lookout..the KTSS crew will be there again tonight to keep you warm, safe, and comfortable.
 
Hi everybody. I went and say Tori for a little while this afternoon before I had to go and pick up Ayanna from Playschool. When I got there she was curled up in her litter box with her face to the back of the kennel even though there was a comfy kitty bed right beside her. Apparently she has spent most of the day lying like that. The tech said that she had been very quiet all day-not a beep out of her. (Usually she is very vocal at the vets).
When I called her name at first she ignored me but then when I opened the door and petted her she clued in and brightened up a bit. She kind of cried out when I picked her up but then she settled into my arms and snuggled close.

Doug said that her electrolytes are better but her WBC is up a bit from yesterday which may just be a variance because of a different machine. Her last BG was 190. She was given 1 unit this morning and depending what her sugar is before closing she might get 1 unit again. He is deliberately keeping he a bit high so she is safe over night. She hasn't eaten a thing on her own and is being syringe fed. The plan is to keep on with the antibiotics and other meds as is. Tomorrow he will give her some Mertazipine and I am going to bring in a kitty buffet to try and tempt her.

So she's really no better but no worse. She will probably be in hospital until the weekend at least. Please continue to hold her close in your thoughts and prayers. I told her that I thought that the KTSS was planning to come and see her again tonight and for a second she seemed to brighter up a bit. She js still a pretty sick little girl.

I feel pretty overwhelmed at this point. Ayanna is very upset that Tori is sick. SHe keeps asking about her and saying she wants her to come home. They have become best friends for sure. Daniel remains very unsupportive saying how long am I going to let this continue. To add insult to injury the toilet plugged and started to overflow. I feel like I just want to run away but what good would that do. Tori needs me. I'm sorry guys I'm rambling and I'm really down right now. At least thank God you understand.

Thanks so much for being there for me. I need to get some things done and then hope to visit some condos. I'm sorry I'm so out of the loop. Have a good night everybody.
 
Barb, you are doing so well, and Tori will respond favorably soon. Just keep on giving all the TLC. She knows how much you love her and that will help her heal.
Rusty is coming to visit with the KTSS and the soup smells wonderful. We're sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts in addition to the vines, snowflakes, white light. Feel better Tori! Keep your spirits up, Barb!

Many hugs,

Ella & Rusty
 
Sending big hugs for you both. Is she getting treatment of any kind over night? Any chance you can bring her home for the evenings and syringe feed her some food a couple times a night? And then bring her back in the daytime?

Sorry about Daniel. I think he should keep his thoughts to himself. What does he want to accomplish - I think its quite selfish the way he is acting. Tori is yours. She gives you unconditional love. Do what your heart tells you.

Maverick got a feeding tube and he adjusted extremely well to it. Feeding tubes are used to get cats through a crisis and are fairly easy to place (an etube). I knew Maverick. I knew if he could make it through the first few days he would make it. DH didn't talk to me when he found out I approved the tube. That was back in July 2008. I don't think everyone is capable of understanding.
 
Hi Barb - you are doing so well - I know how hard this is, for all of you. I am with Ella - keep giving all the TLC you can. It will help her heal. She knows it's you when you visit and how much you love her. That makes all the difference in the world. I love how she snuggled in your arms.

I am sorry about daniel - but know too you have to do what you feel is right for your girl, no matter what others may think. be strong - hang in there.

Mannie has got the KTSS all ready to go and will be there to visit Tori. He says he will go everyday until she is better and back home, and even then will make a few house calls.

Many hugs from all of us! You and Tori are in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Thanks guys for your support. I am so glad that the KTTS will be visiting Tori tonight. I hate her being there alone at night but there is little other option. I certainly can't afford to have her at he emergency vets each night. Monday night alone cost $1000. I can't bring her home at night because she needs her IV which still has potassium in it. Also I work permanent night shift so I leave the house at 1030 at night and don't return home until the morning. I'm hoping and praying that the feeding tube not will become an issue although Tori had one in the past and it was a God send. It would cause such problems with my family. I know the kids would be totally against it. ALso Tori is a lymphoma kitty and still is receiving her chemo. The lymphoma is confined to her neck area. I don't know if that would be a counter indication. I just don't know what is right for her any more.
 
Willie is thrilled to be giving Tori another visit tonight and is so glad to know it is making her feel a little better.

The bean is sending thoughts, prayers, vines, snowflakes... the whole works. You are hanging in there so well.

I'z so sorry u still not feelin gud, Tori... we'z will be back tonite for more speshul treatments and company for u! See u soon...--Willie
 
Hopefully Tori will feel perkier in the morning. I remember when Talbot was hospitalized for pancreatitis he would also curl up in the litter box. I thought it was odd but the vet techs said that quite a few kitties do that while they are there.

I know how hard it is when your family thinks you are doing too much in terms of treatment. When Talbot was so terribly sick and just before he turned the corner to recovery, DH thought maybe it was time to quit. But I knew we weren't there yet. That was almost two years ago. So, hang in there. You might have to tell Daniel that you'll going to continue as long as you want and know it's best for Tori.

Sorry about the toilet, sometimes I tell DH and DD's not to look for me if I'm missing because I'll have run off to some place fun like a tropical beach.
 
((( Barb )))

I hope Tori is feeling better today. You know what a fighter she is. I'm sorry you're not getting support at home, that's so hard when you're already hurting. I want to pull them aside and ask them to just be there for you while you deal with this, that it's hard enough without the burden of their lack of understanding. We are here for you and Tori and are rooting and praying for her, and you.
