Sure do. I had it in my head - 3 months - I will give it my all for 3 months and see then. Glad I did.

I posted a reply in your Intro post but I'm copying it here too:

First, HUGS AND HUGS AND HUGS....I'm so sorry your baby is so sick.

SECOND - in LARGE letters - your baby is not anywhere near ready to be released and as much as you want him home, it's just not possible right now and him improve. DKA is VERY critical and yes, as much as we all hate it, can quickly be fatal. 24 hour vet care is required - IV's, balance electrolytes, get that potassium up, get that ph off acidic back into normal range. You just can't do that at home. He also needs a feeding tube to get calories in.

I'm SO sorry - this REALLY REALLY sucks....MORE HUGS.....

=======================

ADDING HERE:
More hugs...

The big issue right now is the Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Here is more information about it:

Thoughts and prayers for all of you - it's so hard on our heads and our hearts
 
The more I read, I see how serious DKA is. I want him home, but will continue with what the vet thinks is best. Tomorrow I'll try to post the results from tonight they give me. He needs the care now. I wish there was more I can do, which is why I came here to learn, advice and support. :)

More hugs...would you do me a favor to get more people with DKA experience here? In your first post to the right of the subject, click on 'thread tools' and choose 'Edit Title'. When it gives you the square, remove 'Pancreatitis' and put in DKA instead.

I know you're worried but for your baby to have a chance to survive this, he has to be at the vet.
 
I dealt with chronic pancreatitis for Sven years and diabetes for three. Pancreatitis can make tgem feel awful but once you figure out what works for your individual cat it gets easier. I promise.
