I'm sorry I am just getting to replying to this... I am so so so glad Andy is doing better (it stinks about his ear and temp, poor boy) and there are continued prayers from here that he keeps getting better and for your grandmother. Having lost my grandmother reciently, I can sympathise. *HUGS*

Dear Hannah and M.E.

Please tell your brother Andy that we are praying for him to get better and that we want to extend our prayers to your meowme too. Lots of purrs and headbumps heading your way!
Love always
Remus Bear and Hoodini

Oh Katie, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. There is so much that can be done in the medical field today, I hope that she pulls through with flying colors!


I'll be keeping andy in my thoughts on tuesday. boy, there is no shortage of sick kitties on PT right now!

[mamaducky]

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma -- this has been just the week from Hell for you and your family, hasn't it? She and all of you will be in my prayers.

Sorry also to hear that Andy will be without his ear, but considering how very much worse his condition could have been, this is more of a speed bump than a road block on the way to recovery. I'm also certain that Andy will carry off that kind of "reckless adventurer" look very nicely, and will be every bit as roguishly handsome with one ear as he was with two!

Love to all of you,
Diana

I just now saw this thread. I feel so bad for both you and the kitty. My heart just sank when I read the first post and I just wanted to be able to give you a huge hug. While I can't do that personally, I can send a huge PT cyber hug to you and a cheek scratching for Andy.

I'm so glad that you were able to get him treated and he's very lucky to have an owner like you. You were quick acting when you discovered the accident and have done wonderfully by Andy since then, you should not punish yourself for it, accidents can happen anyone.

I don't know what else I can say except my prayers go out for Andy for a full recovery and many more years with you. And I'm also praying for you too with all the stress you're under. My prayers also for your grandmother and the family.

Thank you for the updates and the pictures.

Katie {{{{hugs}}}}

I know Andy will be ok.

PT Prayers for your grandmother. RICHARD is right, they can do a lot more for strokes and pneumonia these days. She just might surprise the docs!

Take care.

Thanks so much guys. I am completely drained. COMPLETELY!

Andy is still doing ok, he acts a little sluggish tonight, but I think all of this is wearing him out too. Plus the Metacam is strong, so maybe he will get a good rest tonight. *fingers crossed*

Grandma is *OK* but still in ICU. She isnt talking, but she does look at me. The rest is mumbles and sleep.

She is on oxygen, and her blood pressure is up. I guess we will see how the next few days are.


BUT back to Andy, I have pictures, but I will need to post them tomorrow. I still have so much to do before bed, and I really need a couple hours sleep. 3:30am is Andys next med time...

Billy is also doing good, his neck is wrapped and has triple antibiotic ointment to be changed twice daily. NOW I have 2 "ecollar" babies

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, and for caring so much about my Andy. I am so thankful I have him with me

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Thanks guys! I have two good updates to share!

First, Grandma is doing much better today, and even ATE on her own! She is getting baby food just like Andy was, lol and YAY! I think she will pull through this. At 94 years old, she is very lucky, and reminds me of the Energizer bunny. She isnt talking, but has alot more color, and is more active, I.E. pulling her nose tubes out

Andy is also alittle more peppy today, and tried to get away from me when I brought in his meds. He is getting really sick of those, and makes me feel awful when I have to do it. But they will help.

His ear did look ok, until 3 days after the accident. Thats when it started to shrivel up, turn really red and scabby. Now it just looks deformed. I have pictures that I will post later on.

Thanks again everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I really cant say that enough

[Medusa]

Well, that's just excellent news! You'll have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I'm sure. Atta girl, Grandma!

[Anikaca77]

I'm saying a pray for your grandma and still for Andy.

Take care and know that we are here for you if you need to talk.

You've really had a rough week!! I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I hope she'll make a full recovery. With our family it seems that all the bad things happen around Thanksgiving. We all kinda hold our breath each year.

It broke my heart to hear that sweet Andy will lose his ear! It really didn't look that bad in the photos and video. After this we know who will always get the most lovins' from meowmie, huh?!

Big hugs and prayers for your Grandma, Andy and YOU!
