no, no change except for more nausea.
Ugh; constant nausea would take the wind out of anybody's sails. I pray that he starts to feel better soon. Big hugs to both of you.Quote:

I hate when cats disappear. they have infinitely more patience than we do. And we sit there fussing , wanting to call for help... and they are just comfortably sleeping somewhere oblivious!
Ain't that the truth. I never stopped sweating his disappearances. Each time he showed back up, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. As sad as this sounds, I suspect that's he's going to eventually meet the average fate of outdoor kitties one way or another. But I take some comfort that he had some good kitty adventures along the way. Taco, on the other hand, will do just fine if she stays close to home and will hopefully go on to live a long life. However, if I had my choice, both of them would be safely living in somebody's home. I'm still struggling with the kitten's death. I don't go very long without thinking about him. :(Quote:

Is she able to walk far or does she need a w/c? How about the bathroom setup at home? With lung issues her endurance is not going to be good at all especially in a shower. She may need a shower seat and some grab bars. Also some people like a detachable shower head to help out. (the steam from the shower can make it harder to breath) Hasn't she been getting therapy in the hospital? They should be doing stairs with her if she is physically able prior to her d/c. Sorry for all the info. I can't help myself when it comes to these situations.Quote:

And you are willing to actually then say that I'm selfish and I want people to support my lifestyle.... seriously get your head on straight. I voted for it and 90% would have benefited you..... really pretty much none of it would have a direct and very personal impact on me... (well except the actual paying for it part, which I would have had to do...) I voted for it because having good transit and fixing the roads benefits society as a whole and when civil society is better I believe I benefit - I must ask who's the selfish one?
No therapy at all other than walking, right now they are trying to get her lungs working right again and to lose the fever :( My sister is looking into some home health care for awhile, and she will likely have to be on O2 for some time. She CAN walk, she just gets tired very quickly.Quote:

Dear Catrin
I wish your mom was in the same city as us, I could walk over to her room and visit her!
((((((Mimi and RD))))))
Wish there were more I could do than "listen" and send good vibes.
Oh ((((((((Mimi & Don & Catrin & mom))))))) - keeping the vibes flowing.
