Ah, Kerry, what would I do without you and this group? Your caring and
encouraging message brought a smile to my face, thank you. I gave Grace
some subq fluids earlier, not as much as I wanted to, but the damn
needle kept slipping, so I stopped. I just didn't want to stick her a
third time. I know she knows I'm doing my best to help her, but she's
starting to act like my entering the room isn't a pleasure to her
anymore. I can take a lot of things, but that's really tough on me.
After the fluids, she did lap a tiny bit of goat's milk, (the first time
she's attempted to eat today), so that's a small blessing. I just
cooked up some salmon for her, but no go. The rest of the cats are
pretty thrilled with all the yummy left overs at least.
Doing my best to keep my chin up,
N

Dear Nina
I just got back home and I guess it's about 9.15 on Saturday night your time
and I'm sitting here thinking about you and Gracie and praying that she
rallies. It's just not fair that a little kitty has to fight so hard and so
often, but thank-whoever-is-in-charge-of-these-things that she found you and
doesn't have to go through this struggle on her own. Which doesn't help you,
I know--I feel for you, I truly do.... It's so heartbreaking to watch our
furballs suffer. I strongly believe that having such a wonderful and loving
human friend as you by her side is what keep her going through thick and
thin--my God, Nina, no one--animal or human--could find a truer companion in
adversity than you.
I pray you and sweet Gracie have a good night.
much love and hugs
Krry
