I went to my cardiologist for my check up and to get the results of my MUGA scan.
I was ecstatic to find out that my heart is the strongest it has been since I was first diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy in 2002.
My iron is low...like not even on the chart low, but that is nothing new, lol.
I got the doctor to check out to see if my cold is an infection or just a cold.
It turns out it is just a bad, long cold. No infection....which I am happy about :)
Then it turned bad, real bad.
You all know our wonderfully, well loved cat Rose.
We noticed yesterday that it seemed she was having a hard time breathing...like having to take short deep breaths.
So off to the vet Rose, Heather and I went.
The vet took an x-ray.
See the dark long shadow, that is her lung.
Now look on the left hand side, see that tiny dark shadow...that is her other lung.
No wonder she was having trouble breathing.
He drained her lung and got a large bowl of liquid out of her.
When he showed us her new x-ray both lungs looked the same.
But sadly the vet doesn't think she is going to get better. He said this is just to make her more comfortable :(
I wear my emotions on my sleeve, so I shed some tears while we were in the room.
My Heather is emotionally strong.
As the mother I am suppose to stay strong for my kids, but Heather was the one who stayed strong for me.
Rose is home and wandering around and seems good.
So nothing creative from me today.
Hope you all had a creative Wednesday :)
Tracy :)

ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you today.

I'm so, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteOHhhh, my heart goes out to you!!!! ((hugs)) I know how hard it is to hear those words from the vet. We heard that several times about our basset hound - "just keep him comfortable," and it was all we could do. Show her much love, and know that you've given her a wonderful, loving home, letting her know that she's safe and cared for. Keep us updated, you'll be in my thoughts!!!
ReplyDeleteTerrible news my niece's cat is exactly the same, cyber hugs.
