Hoping for a Miracle!

I know that my last entry was not the most positive one in a while. And I wish I could say that this one was going to be as well. But it’s not. Aside from everything else (which seems so minor now), my cat is really not doing well. 

After extensive blood work, shots, and medicine- she is not improving. She is naseaus and will not eat and obviously feels like shit.
 
After the most recent tests, they found that:
– her kidney is normal
– her protein, glucose, and white blood cells are normal
-her thyroid is normal
-her pancreatic enzymes are normal
 
They also found that her Liver enzymes are elevated. This at LEAST is leading them in some direction- since for the past 2 weeks they have had no idea where to really narrow in on. But this is also very bad news as the doctor suspects her problem could be:
1)      Direct Gastro intestinal problems (caused by either some sort of blockage or cancer)
2)      Cancer of the Intestinal Tract
3)      Liver Problems
So at this point I don’t even know what to think. I’m trying not to think of the “worst” (despite having several major crying breakdowns yesterday and today), and cross that bridge when I come to it, but it’s hard to do that. Especially when none of these options are options for which to hope for. At this point, I am just hoping and PRAYING that it’s something that is curable. I can’t take seeing my baby so miserable and sick. I am trying to do everything for her that I can, but unfortunately it’s not really helping that much. I feel so helpless and I’m just so worried. At this point, I don’t even care about the money. I just want my kitty to have a chance.
 
Thank God my work is so flexible and I’ve been able to work from home this week to monitor and coddle her (and in the meantime try to take care of myself and my ankle sprain at the same time). That is at least one thing that I don’t have to worry about.  Thank GOD for good bosses.
 
And now I’m crying again- so I need to get back to work. Please keep my kitty in your prayers!

I am so, so sorry for you! I know how our pets are our children and this is a lot to go through. Your most recent FB post said it was pancreatitis and not cancer, so I’m really happy about that! Don’t worry, we won’t stay out 3am or anything tomorrow night–you’ll get home to S to take care of her! 🙂 Can’t wait to see ya! Call ya tomorrow to firm up plans!
