8 out of 9 Lives


Good mews!
I'm home.
More GOOD mews the echocardiogram that they redid on me today
showed that "thrombus" on the aortic valve -- gone!
Was it ever there?
No way to know, but it's not there now.
YAY!
But, the sobering news is this my friends and I'm gonna be straight talking
with you my pals.
The Vet believes that my prognosis is guardedly negative and Mom
had to twist arms and legs to get that news outta her.
She also had to press to get a good sense of her recommendations
on my future care.
Because you know Mom wants what is best for me.
She is not opting for what is best for anything else.
Just me.
Gotta love Mom for that.
So every moment of every day going forward will truly be a gift.
It's my gift to Momma.
I'm a tough girl ,but well, we'll have to play it by ear, but I
do think I have used up about 8 out of my 9 lives.
I know Momma is broken up about my condition because
she wants so badly to fix it and make me whole again.
But that's not what is in the cards.
Momma and I are going to be flying our way to the moon
and back over and over while I still can.
***
I have to tell you it warmed my kitten heart to see all of the
beautiful purrs and prayers from all over the world here in the
Blogosphere and on Twitter. I had kitties from New Zealand,
France, England, Australia, Canada and all over the United States
purring and praying for me. I want you all to know I knew it.
I felt your love.
And it made me want to be back with all of you and with my
Momma who has my back.
So for my time left here on this earthly plane we aren't going to take
any of it for granted. Nope. Not at all.
We're all gonna love and purr and rejoice.
Now if you would all help me convince my Momma.
She is bit harder sometimes to convince.
She is, and I hate to say it a worrier.
Help me help her.
***
Thank you for every single prayer they have lifted me up
and I feel glorious.
Love you all!
smoochies!!!
~Abby

  10. Now, sweet Abby, you just do your best to stay well enough to hang around with Mom for longer this time, OK? You don't like that ER too much and Mom doesn't like for you to have to be there. So stay calm and breathe evenly, and love on your Mommy, and snuggle and be together.

  14. I am so glad you are home, Abby! And I know you felt all our purrs - how could you not?

    I think you will have to work on your human to get her to appreciate life day by day - that is a very hard thing for humans to do under normal circumstances!

  20. Dear sweet Abby we are so excited at this news. So many have held you up in prayer this week. A few days ago I think you asked for a miracle and it looks like it was granted with the news on the aortic valve thrombus!
    May each day forward be blessed with sunshine and all the love you can fit into each day for you & your momma.

  22. You have made our night, Abby!!!
    It's not often that prayers are answered. But we think it really worked this time. I know... your time with us is probably not as long as any of us would wish, but you've shown us to treat our time together as a gift. And that alone has made all the difference in the world.

    You and your mom are not just a gift to each other. You are a gift to all of us.

  35. Wow, this is good news. To heck with 'guardedly negative'; you're back home, your here, you're now. You may not have forever with your mum, Abby, but none of us does, and we must enjoy each day with our loved ones. That's difficult at times; we sometimes forget. I know I do. But a cat lives for today, and that's a good policy. I'm glad you are home. God bless you and your mum.
