Please help, what's wrong with my cat?

Tiwi,
How is Sammy doing today? I'm in southern California, so very early here, but he's been on my mind.

Thanks for that link!

I'm so touched by everyone's concern.
I don't know how he is right now, i'll find out when my mom comes home, she's at work and I can't call. You have no idea how happy I am that he got there in time, too. If it weren't for me who was home and googling stuff, and coming here, we wouldn't have ever known he had to get to a vet ASAP. We feel so incredibly lucky..

I'm so nervous. I don't know what happened. Last I heard from my mom, she was waiting for Sammy to wake up after his operation so she could visit him. My phone died while I was out, so I didn't receive any other updates.
