My baby boy needs prayers

[aly]

Hi everyone,

I just got back from the emergency vet and need some big time prayers. This is really hard for me to type because I can't stop crying. The newborn boys that I got on Wednesday were doing fine until this evening when one of them crashed. I couldn't get him to eat and his body temperature dropped. He was really really lethargic and wouldn't really move even when I picked him up. So I took him to the emergency vet. They are not too hopeful. They kept telling me his condition was "guarded" and preparing me for the worst. I wanted to leave his brother with him for comfort but they wouldn't let me. He's laying on some warm water bottles and they are trying to hydrate him up. I left them my credit card number and told them to do whatever they could I don't care if I go in debt from this. I just want him to live.

They said it wasn't my fault but I am feeling like the worst foster mom right now

They told me that no news from them tonight is good news so I am hoping my phone won't ring

Praying the phone is silent! You really have done everything you could. Hoping for the best...

Aly, I'm so sorry to hear that one of your foster newborns isn't doing well. Prayers are on the way for him and his sibling too. I sure hope that he'll pull through. Just remember that you didn't do anything wrong and now it's up to God. {{{HUGS}}}

OH Aly hang in there girl.... Gods hands are big enough for that small little kitten! I will be praying for him...
And don't you blame yourself... you are one of the most caring people I have ever known....

Aly, I'll be sending positive thoughts to your little guy and hope he pulls through. You do so much for animals, please don't feel bad about this.

God must have needed him He's at the bridge now L(

I know I've jsut had him since Wednesday but its so hard to handle.

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

It is hard to accept these losses, even although they are part of God's greater plan.

Console yourself with the knoweldge that he was nurtured and loved for his short little life, and got to feel and understand the gentle touch of a loving human - so many animals go through their whole lives never having experienced this.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts for you and the little brother.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Please do not blame yourself, you are a good mommy (foster and otherwise). He was just, as you said, needed else where right now. Hope the baby brother can stay here with us much longer.

[PayItForward]

We are thinking of you.

We're sorry he had to go to RB but you know he'll be happy up there.

All the best with his brother.

Aly, I know how difficult this must be for you. Please don't think that you could have changed the outcome. Little ones are so fragile at this stage and it seems to happen quite often. It is God's will. You really tried - probably much more than anyone else would/could have. You are this little one's angel.

Aly,

SAS is right. Kittens are so fragile at that age You did the best you could. Don't EVER beat yourself over it.

You're doing a great thing Aly, keep up the good work!

[Cincy'sMom]

Aly, you gave that little angel more love in his short days with you, then many cats know intheir entire lives. I'm sorry you lost him, but you did everything you could. He is at peace now.

[aly]

Thank you guys. You've made me feel a lot better. I was thinking about finding anoter foster home for the brother because I was beating myself up last night about it all. But he's doing really good and I have really bonded to him over the night because I'm all he has now. He was missing his brother.

[kimlovescats]

Oh, you are exactly right .... that baby needs you too, as does Lily and any others waiting to be taken into your wonderfully loving care!!! Just pour yourself into the ones that you have left, and all the future ones you were MEANT to help!!!!

God bless you!

God wanted the wee one to experience love on earth before He called him home. So He sent him to you. He couldn't have chosen better.
