Tragedy at the Layne household... VIDEO ADDED POST 177!

[Medusa]

Oh that's such great news! I'm sure that Andy will do much better once he's home w/his mom. And since we're family, don't look receiving money as donations; consider it to be our contribution as family members.

I am glad to hear that Andy can come home. If they forget to suggest it, I would recommend keeping him confined. He might be a bit scared AND it will allow you to monitor his food intake. And remember to stay calm (don't overwhelm him with apologies) he'll be able to feel your stress. But he'll be happy to be home.

Thanks guys! I am SO relieved. Instead of calling every hour, I will be there!

Jen, yes I must keep him confined. The tech told me is going to be on fluids once he gets home. Not sure if ivs or subQ. Chances are he must go back tomorrow morning. Hopefully he will eat, and that he will calm down (heart rate) once he gets home and isnt so bumbarded with other dogs/cats and docs prodding him. Now he can look forward to MEOWMIE prodding and kissing and loving. Poor fella. I will update AS SOON as I can.

Katie, I just finished reading this thread and I'm so sorry that this has happened. Like others have said, please try not to blame yourself because it was an accident. Cats are too curious for their own good sometimes.

I'm so glad to hear that he's able to come home and I hope he'll eat something for you and continue to get stronger and become more stabilized. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Thank goodness Andy will be home where he belongs...with you! That will go a long way in speeding up his recovery and healing, being in familiar surroundings with his loving meowmie.

I know you are so relieved that he is progressing (so are we!) and I'm sure you will spoil him rotten. It sure can't hurt!

And, please do not hesitate to ask for help; we are as generous with our wallets as we are with our prayers....don't forget that.

(((hugs))) to both of you!

I haven't been able to post because I can't see through the tears. I feel so bad for both of you, but I have been thinking of you and praying for Andy's recovery all day. I'm glad he is coming home. Gentle hugs to both of you.

I am so glad Andy is going home. He will be in terrific hands at home with you! Please give him a gently kiss and scratchie for me!!

[Purr-tender]

I am so happy that you will have your baby back home with you tonight! There is no doubt in my mind that just being home will reduce his heart rate and once he is settled in will eat a bit. I wouldn't expect him to be ready to eat till later tonight though. Please give him gentle hugs from me and my furbabies.

More ((HUGS)),
Mary

Still thinking of you and hoping for an update before bedtime!

Great that he can come home. Sometimes getting back to normal settings helps a LOT after a trauma. Routine sights and smells, etc. Praying that this helps Andy recover more quickly.
