patience

We went to Lake Tahoe yesterday to celebrate K's cat's life and then I came home to find that my own orange kitty is very, very sick. She'd thrown up early Monday morning but we thought it was just her usual ate-too-much-too-fast routine - not uncommon for her. And last night, when I got home, she seemed kind of OK. She greeted me at the door and wanted to be held. She also slept a lot and turned up her nose at a treat...but still. But then at 3 a.m. she started throwing up.

And this morning she was lethargic and not eating.

I took her in for an exam and bloodwork at noon today and then had to rush her back for emergency hospitalization. Acute kidney failure. For no immediate, obvious reason that the vet could figure out.

The prognosis is very questionable and we won't really know anything until morning - and even then we won't know much. It may take a few days to figure out how bad off she really is.

The doctor was frank but apologized for not being able to tell us more. She advised patience, a word that made me cry even harder.


So now, I'm praying very hard because she's the love of my life - has been for the last 8+ years - and I'm asking you to think very good thoughts for her.

Please.
