PT Prayers for Pyka, please. Post - op update #16, #18

Mom called the hospital tonight to check on Pyka. He was resting, blood work showed all vitals are stable. (Resting = morphine patch. Thank God!) The surgeon, Sheri, thinks it will be several days before they hear a HONK out of him. Yep, that's what his MOW sounds like - we call it a "honk". One of his nicknames is Honker.

There's some bleeding from the nose, but that is to be expected.

So far, so good. Poor baby!

Check the link in #15 and have a boo. Not a lot of pics yet, as they just moved into the new place late last year...but there is a local news clip about it.

I'm glad to hear that Pyka's ear surgery went well. I hope he makes a quick recovery. I hope that his nasal surgery will also go well or were they able to do this today as well? Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Friday morning....Mom just phoned. Pyka is resting comfortably and all, but the surgeon said he is very SAD...and could we come see him? Well, of course!

It's nice that even a surgeon would know that!

We have been asked to try and feed him...if he can eat, then he won't need a feeding tube. And Mom is bringing a small blanket she cut for him, so something smells familiar.

He'll come home some time this weekend...Mom wants to make as sure as possible that the bleeding risk is over.

And of course, his fursibling will hiss at him for a few days until Pyka smells normal!

Just catching up on Pyka's situation. What a whirlwind of activity! I am glad to hear he is coming around and wants his MOM!!!

Oh my goodness... I totally missed this whole thread. No wonder you wanted to know about sinuses!!

I hope Pyka will be feeling better and be cheered by seeing you and your mom! He must be so confused and wondering why he is still in there. Poor baby. Give him a gentle hug and kiss from me. I'll be thinking about him! My mom and dad's cat Lucey has super horrible sinuses... I wonder if this is something they'll ever have to do?! Hope Pyka eats for his mom... that would be best, and then he can go home and recoup there. Be a good boy, Pyka, and eat for your mom and get all better, ok?!
