Thanks everyone for your support and prayers. I just talked to his nurse and they said he is doing really well, but b/c of his history of 2 months on and off medication and still not getting better, they want me to keep him there to continue testing. This might include a trachea wash which I have read on here from Chewy's mom (blykmyk44) that it may be life threatening. I have talked to the nurse and will talk to the doctor tomorrow, she has said that there are always chances taken when it comes to anything involving sedation. She said her cat had it done and came out fine. I guess there are good and bad instances. Maybe b/c Chewy had the trachea wash done by a regular veteranarian as opposed to a specialist, my little guy will have a better outcome. I pray that is the case b/c I don't know what I would do if anything happened. When I heard about Chewy I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. I feel stuck b/c it seems like that's the only way they will be able to find out what kind of bacteria is in his lungs to prescribe him the right medication finally. I will also do an ultra sound which is really expensive, but obviously a lot safer. I have to go all the way to Allentown, PA from NJ tomorrow to sign discharge papers to release him from emergency services to the specialist on monday. This weekend has just been terrible. The thing is, he is fine otherwise. All the nurses that I've talked to are saying how playful he is and how he's eating and drinking fine. They don't even have him on IV fluids. You would never know he was sick. They are taking him outside to play and holding him all day b/c he's so adorable. At least tomorrow I will get to visit him. I miss him so much...it's so weird not having him here
