    sigh...partied a little too soon. I went out to visit yesterday and found out that they were going to call to tell me to come get him , he was being discharged...so I was in an exam room with him while they finished up all the discharge paperwork and stuff. It felt so good to hold him and hear him purr...and yes I cried when I saw him but after about 20 minutes or so he had a very mild (in comparison to those he had on Wednesday) seizure. I ran and got the tech who took him back to be examined. The doc came and talked to me, she said that when they discontinue all of the meds she usually allows them 1 freebie, so to speak, like they have to get that last one out of their system...well as she was examining him he had 2 more minis, so she was bundling the 3 minis into his 1 freebie. She was willing to let me take him home but with our work schedule and the fact that we live an hour away from the emergency vet, I had them keep him last night for observation. I'm hoping to hear this afternoon that there were no minis or anything and we can go get him after work. If so I am taking tomorrow off to spend with him....as far as his being blind from the seizures, he was exploring the exam room and they have wooden exam tables, I would actually call them tables with cabinets underneath, and he navigated around it so I think he can see shadows at the very least....thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, we have never gone thru anything like this....

    Thank you everyone! Zingo came home on Monday afternoon. My poor guy was so exhausted. I took yesterday off to be home with him just to keep an eye on things and give him all of his meds, he did great. I hated leaving him this morning

    He and I napped together yesterday and it was so wonderful to feel him snuggled against me and to listen to his purr....

    Oh my goodness! I've been through similar once with my Dad, who is also diabetic. I am so sorry you and Zingo had to go through this. It is such a scary thing to witness in another being!

    Now he is home and that is likely the BEST medicine -- being with you, being in his routine. Prayers from RI.

    I'm glad he's doing better. If he'll put up with it you might want to consider home blood sugar testing.
