For simplicity sake I'm just copying over what I put in my PR.


So the week started with CJ in the ER on Sunday for the UTI, where they had to cath him to get a sample. GOt antibiotics for that, seemed to be getting better.
Then as many of you saw last night my 7 year old kitty, had a seizure, aneurysm or something and died in my arms.
Then this morning CJ had his surgery, which went well he was a champ. Nurses even commented that they wish other kids were as good about it as he was.
Then I talk to the nurse our regular dr.'s office about his test results from the culture from sunday, which came back positive and they want him to get an u/s of his kidneys and a repeat test. After that conversation because we just go tout of surgery they were going to just refer us over to the urologist.
BUT then on the way home the nurse called back and said the doctor does want to see him today because the bacteria it came back with can not be treated with an oral antibiotic and they want to rule out a contaminated sample, so she is going to cath him herself today.
He's napping right now, then when he wakes up and eats lunch it's off to the doctor again.

And I have to decide what to do with my kitty. He was my giant baby (maine coon) and really would never thought he would die on me, he was super healthy and only 7. The ground is frozen so I can't bury him right now. So I can either keep him in the deep freeze till it thaws, take him on for mass cremation, or single cremation and get his ashes back. I'm having issues with the mass cremation.

Not a good start to the weekend. I need a drink-a BIG one and can't have one!!!!

Man, that's a lot to deal with at once.

[ohnicole]

Wow, that all sounds so hard. I will be thinking of you

Ugh, I'm so sorry I've felt like life has been attacking me lately, and it seems like you feel the same. I really don't have anything comforting to offer other than a shoulder, which you're free to borrow absolutely anytime you like. I really am sorry you're having to deal with so much right now.

Sam I am so sorry!

Sam, I am so sorry you are going through all of this. My oldest was in and out of the hospital with apnea for a few months when he was little and it was so heartbreaking. It is such a helpless feeling. And we have 3 cats, I am so sorry

((Hugs)) wish there was something I could do for you in real life.

Sam, that is a lot to be dealing with all at once. Sending you lots of

[SillyKitty]

I'm so sorry, Sam. When it rains, it pours.

Oh Sam, I'm so sorry. You have had it rough this week... I hope the doctors have figured out your sweet little son's problem and he won't have to go thru any more procedures. BIG HUGS!

As far as your cat goes...that sounds awful. I am so sorry that happened to you. I got my cat cremated..the vet had her back to me in a couple days. I would have had problems with the mass cremation too, and I just wouldn't have been able to deal with knowing she was in my freezer...

I am so sorry things are so rough right now. I hope that you can come to a decision on your kitty soon I am sorry for your loss. If it were me, and money was not an issue, I would do the single cremation thing. I don't know if I could handle knowing my cat was in the freezer
