Hi everybody. It's Monday isn't it? Hope you have a good start to your week. Well Tori doesn't want to eat for for me again this morning. Maybe I didn't wait long enough giving her meds and then trying to get her to eat. She took a few mouth fulls and then just turned away. So I'm giving her another 1/2 hour or so and then I'm going to try again.

This is getting beyond frustrating and worrying. It seems like it is one small step forward and then then 2 steps back. I'm beginning to wonder if she's just getting tired of it all but then she perks right up again. I just don't know any more.

I guess I'm just not in a good spot right now. There's just too much going on with Tori, my son and the bathroom flood. Also today is the 6th year anniversary of my Mom's death. We were very close even though she was almost 90 when she died. Talk about a feisty little (she was only 4'11") old lady. She was the strongest person I ever knew. She loved my kids with a passion. I remember one day she took Daniel out for a walk in his stroller with a little toy bear that used to be mine. She came back crying her heart out. Of course I though something had happened to the baby but in fact she had lost the bear and she was so upset that she had lost his favourite toy. That was one of the few times that I ever saw her cry. God I miss her. Actually Tori has a lot of her personality- very strong and brave and feisty but with a gentleness to her too. Maybe I should have called her Katherine instead of Victoria.

Anyway I'm rambling here. I hope everybody has a good day. I will check in throughout the day and update on how Tori is doing. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Morning Barb - You guys are always in our thoughts and prayers, You have a pretty amazing kitty there. I hope it was just a timing thing this morning with the meds and the food. Paws crossed. All we can do is help them fight, and follow their lead. I just don't think she's done yet. Combating illness can be so tough, and cats are so incredibly resilient. Tori - you be a good girl and eat your fuds.

Your mom sounds like an incredible lady, alot like the image I have of her daughter.

I hope you guys have a good day today.
 
Re: 3/7 Tori AMPS 261

(((((((((Barb)))))))))) What a day for you. Your mom is smiling down on you and is with you in spirit, giving you strength.

You are coping with a lot. Take it one day at a time. Have you syringe fed Tori before? I can't remember. Sorry my memory really is like a goldfish. Very short.

Saving up lots more hugs to send later.
 
Re: 3/7 Tori AMPS 261

(((Barb))): a tough day for you but I am so happy you can think about those memories that bring you comfort and a smile to your heart. Your mom is with you all the time. I'm so sorry to hear Tori doesn't want to eat this morning. I hope she'll perk up and start eating. Come on Tori...you can do it...you're strong and brave!
 
Re: 3/7 Tori AMPS 261

She ate a little bit- approximately 1/2 can of FF. I gave her Buprenex about an hour ago and her fluids. I think the Bupe may have made her a bit confused either that or she's ticked off. She just went over to the computer and peed on the mat that we have under the chair. My poor sweet baby girl. I guess I should check her sugar too.

To answer your question Kerri. Yes I have tried syringe feeding Tori before and it was a disaster. That seems to be the only thing that this little fur baby won't let me do with her. She accepts fluids OK, she's a dream to pill and she even accepts eye drops without a qualm but syringe feeding is where she draws the line. We'll keep working at the eating little bits every half hour or so and see how it goes.

Please keep us in your prayers.

(((((Barb))))) Sorry for asking. I wish I had a better memory. I'd rather repeat questions than assume I've mentioned it before. I'm glad to hear she ate 1/2 a can. I don't know what to make of the urinating. Keep on hanging on. Hugs.

Eat some more of your food, Tori. Your mamabean would like that, and so would all your friends in LL. How does some KTSS chicken soup sound for later tonight? We'll be there!

Barb, I'm sorry you had such a tough day, but it sounds like your loving memory of your mother helped you get through it. She must have been a fabulous mom, just like you are! Have a good evening (are you working tonight?) and trust in your Tori that she will be fine. The kitties will be over to visit her later.

Many hugs,

Ella & Rusty
 
Well she's continued to eat small amounts frequently throughout the day . It seems if I keep on her case and keep putting her nose in the food dish that she will take some. If I didn't I don't think she would take anything on her own at the moment. The combination of the Pancreatitis and the Salmonella really must make her feel like crap.

I still have to give her her fluids again before I go to work and give her her Bupe. Hopefully she'll eat a bit more for me as well. At least her sugar this afternoon and evening has been below the renal thresh hold.

I sure wish I didn't have to go into work tonight. I sure wish I could take some vacation time right now. I'm mentally and physically exhausted. No such luck though.

Well I better get a move on and look after Missy Kitty here and do the things I need to do before I head off to work. I'm hoping it will be a reasonable night.

Tori and I are so glad that the KTSS is planning to pay her another visit tonight. SHe loves the visits and as I've said before I feel so much better knowing that the love of this Board is holding my baby tight and standing guard over her while I'm at work. Please continue to keep Tori in your thoughts and prayers

Have a good night everyone. I hope to be able to get back and visit a few more condos before I head out but if I can't know that I am thinking of you all.
 
Good evening Barb! I am glad that she is eating, even if it is with encouragement. :-D I can imagine with what she has going on that she doesn't feel her best. Poor little girl. I hope it turns around soon. And yes on the numbers - good I think that they are where they are - below renal threshold. Try not too worry, we are all there for her. I hope you have a decent night.

Hey Miss Tori! We are on our way - soup in tow, and I gots you a new fleece. it is really soft and warm and snuggly, it should help you feel better. See you soon, we have many stories to tell. ~~ Mannie
