I took this picture of Abby last July 26th.
Look at that cute face with her tongue caught on her lip.
So alive.
I mean look at those eyes!
Who would have thought there was anything other than
age, wrong with her?
***
Well, her DR called.
She asked how I was and I started to say "fine" like all of us
do no matter how we really feel.
But I hesitated and said I am sick. Which was true.
Because of worry over Abby
So she laughed and said oh no don't be.
Then she said Abby was doing really well this morning.
They have her off oxygen.
They have her on oral medication.
She thought they might let her come home this afternoon.
But she said she would be cautious, that could change
and it would be tomorrow morning.
***
I had my notepad ready to take notes, but somehow
after she told me all of that my brain froze and I couldn't even
ask the questions I have had in my head all night.
The only one I got out was about her blood work results.
They are not all back but one of the panels (probably the T4)
showed Abby's thyroid levels elevated.
That could possibly be one of the underlying conditions
of the heart disease. So we will have to see how this all works out.
***
I didn't get to ask about the "mass" or tumor shadow.
Again, I think that is red herring(are the trout kittes around??).
I have a feeling that is a fatty deposit.
***
I didn't get to ask about her fluid output.
Which I really wanted to ask, and I didn't ask how she was eating.
***
But, things sound markedly improved and for the first time I feel
a lightness above me.
Prayers and purrs have been heard and answered.
Abby wants to soldier on!!
I will be one happy little warrior with her.
The poor girl has been through so much in the last few days.
It must have been terrifying to her.
The only other thing that the DR said was Abby hated the port in her arm.
I knew she wanted that off yesterday but they needed it administer medication.
So perhaps they will take that off.
She said she is walking around on 3 legs.
I wish they would take that off.
It may be hurting.
***
So keep those purrs and prayers coming I think that they are
the magic potion and we may have Abby home
very soon!!!
