kuhio, with lizzie and me, there should be enough for tonight. await of your check should be okay - but if ever need your help too tonight, I will contact you right away - I will have my pager with me and I can PM you from it. just stay online (if you can) around 6:30 - 7PM and keep an eye out? I just don't want to flood up the vet hospital yet. (anyone wants the vet name and number can be PMed by me) -

we now are going out to see vet for a confirmed diagnose and an estimate IMOM is waiting for. we'll be back with an update, hopefully better than what I thought!

bye for now.

the bad news is 3x worse.

I'm here at the vet, waiting for miles to finish his xray with better views. he was moving too much because he's in very painful pain, and are going to sedate him a bit so he can relax better. . .poor my little guy.

while the vet came back, (asked if he could sedate) told me he possibly would need either a plate or intramedollary pin.

and that's $1,000 extra than I thought. the more cost is, the more how painful he is.

however, two best things have happened here, miles even purred and gave happy feet for so long!!

I've never saw him doing that on table. it took a while for the vet to listen his heartbeats, he was purring too loud, louder than usual! it broke my break but at the same time, joyful tears!

second, oh my, a litttle miracle! after all I've been in hospitals/doctors myself, with their lousy service, them not providing an interpreter at all, so no effective communication, understanding, etc. well, miles's doctor called another doctor just in a second and I never knew she's deaf too!

believe me, this appointment have went 4x faster than communicating (writing, writing and writing) on papers, asking questions and answers. it's soooo good to be able to 'speak' my language in for so long! - wow, did not realize my signing have been out of shape! funny, she said she didn't came here for work, only to bring in her dog for a bath, guess it was meant for me and my dear little boy! also, am already impressed with their service, attitudes so I think I'll stick with this one!

miles still is not back yet, I'm waiting still. I hate to wonder how's he doing in another room.. please continue the good thoughts that things will just go smoothly for him!

p.s. kuhio, our PMs - he'll need to have his surgery at specialist, not here.. sorry.

That must have been wonderful, being able to communicate with someone quickly when you were in a stressful situation. I was thinking about you being at the vet and wondering if they had someone who could sign - serendipidity when you least expected it!

I am sorry about Miles, though, but at least you are working with people who are knowledgeable and efficient. Is Miles having to stay at the vet's overnight? I hate it at the emergency vet's when they take one of my cats away into another area. My own vet knows me so well that I've often been allowed to hold one of my cats for treatment, something that makes both me and my cat feel better.

Keep us updated, everyone is concerned for you both.

Many hugs for you and prayers for Miles. I think it was awesome that you were able to communicate with another deaf vet to help to find out the best way to fix Miles.

Gina is having to take Miles to an emergancy clinic (pray for her shes so upset she keeps getting lost) It looks as if Miles will have to have an amputaion that or PTS and to Gina that is not an option. Her side kick isn't letting her get on so shes been updateing me and asked me to update you all.
