Patty - I am so sorry that I missed your thread this morning. Thank you to Judy in Waco for alerting me. And of course when I read your first post I dialed the phone.....

Barbi, Greg, and the girls, plus the rest of your wonderful family will remain in my thoughts and prayers -- well you are always there anyway, but I will say EXTRA prayers for Barbi.... :ghug;

wemple2 · 06-14-2008, 09:45 PM

Patty, I pray that Barbi has a full and speedy recovery. I do know that cat bites can be very dangerous, but you would think a tiny little kitten couldn't do this much damage...I am so sorry that she has to go through this. Sending you a hug my friend...I know you must be very worried.

mypreciouspups · 06-14-2008, 10:24 PM

Patti.. I am just seeing this thread now.. I am sending many prayers.. I feel so bad for your Barbi.. omg.. I would never have thought a kitten could do so much damage and cause so many problems..

I will be watching for updates... anne

Patty, so sorry to hear Barbi is having to go thru this. I have seen so many cases like this in ortho trauma. I am praying that if they have to do and I and D that the kitten's bite did not piece into the joint space!
If so she may need long term Iv antibiotics at home. I work with some awesome hand specialist. Dont be afraid to ask if one is available!
Take care
Lisa

I talked to Patty at length last night. When I talked with her, Patty was in fairly good spirits, her granddaughter, Gracie was snuggled up next to her and they were watching some TV. They are waiting on test results. Patty will be at the hospital today and won't have access to a computer (unless someone brings a laptop) so I will update you as soon as I hear from her.

From talking with Patty, this is an extremely serious situation. So please please keep those prayers coming.

Sorry to see this. One good deed gone wrong. Sending prayer's
Babi's way. Hope everything works out ok. Very scary.

Judy in Waco · 06-15-2008, 06:06 AM

Thank you for the update Cindy. I am continuing to pray for them all.

wemple2 · 06-15-2008, 08:52 AM

Continued prayers...

Let's all hope the outcome is good. Prayers will go out to her and the family.

Patty, I just found this thread. I pray Barbi will make a speedy recovery. I know cat bites can be very serious. My vet has been hospitalized several times from cat bites. I just never would of though a little kitten bite could cause that much trouble. I will definitely use lots of caution before I ever try to handle a wild kitten. (((hugs)))

Thanks so much for the prayers. We still don't know a whole lot yet. She had the xrays last night and they are supposed to do an MRI today. A surgeon came in to see her this morning and is coming back again this afternoon. Our ortho dr doesn't have privileges at this hospital but we all refuse to have any more surgery at the hospital he is allowed to use. If she has to have surgery we will have him recommend someone. The dr. told us last night about the long term IV....6-8 weeks. They are running so many tests on her. She is in good spirits though. We have learned a lot thru this. We really had no idea cat bites were so bad.

chattiesmom · 06-15-2008, 03:07 PM

Just after Patty posted the above update, called me with another update. Barbi is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow and the ortho surgeon has been called in.

Guys and Gals, Patty is exhausted, frustrated and very worried. Please please keep my frister in your thoughts and prayers along with Barbi, Greg and the girls. The whole family is stunned about the seriousness of the situation.

mypreciouspups · 06-15-2008, 03:38 PM

Cindy thanks so much for you updates.. Patti still sending prayers to you, barbi and family...
