Cassie Update for YT Angels
Hello everyone,
Just returned from ER seeing my little girl, t/w doctors, techs, etc. Got there before 7PM it is now 9:20PM, so very tired, so forgive me if update is brief.
Head Dr on duty discussed this morning about doing lung aspirate to try to further investigate Cassie's situation. I and my holistic Vet are against this, we feel this could kill her in her current weakened and fragile state. However on a positive note, since the homeo's she is doing much better. She is eating, drinking and down to 34% O2. Resting comfortably. Sleeping a lot but not struggling to breathe. They will try to wean her off tonight very slowly, if possible. Still on the imipenem. The head doctor at the ER told me the entire staff has been taking the aromatherapy remedy my holistic vet gave to Cassie to help them cope with their jobs and calm themselves down. My holistic Vet and I were hysterical. She said, if I would have known, I would have sent more (LOL).
I t/w a pet communicator today in order to see if I could get some closure and help with healing the grief over losing Muffin. By nature I am a very difficult person to convince, although I think of myself as a very spiritual person who walks a spiritual path in life. But my rational, left brain side is very strong so I am not easily convinced or swayed unless I really have evidence that something extraordinary has occurred. I am on the fence about my encounter with this particular pet communicator. I was hoping for much more. I need lots of specifics and very few generalities, and this was quite the opposite, with lots of generalities and very few (like two) specifics. All other specifics were wrong or couldn't be understood. So I have to admit that i was disappointed, but not surprised.
Although I am still in terrible grief, it made me realize that I must be there for my baby Cassie, as she is the one who needs me now, she is the one who is still here, she is the one who is suffering and struggling to survive, so if nothing else, the encounter made me take stock and realize that I have to go on and help the one that I can help. I still can't stop crying, or longing for my Muffy. I still can't stop aching for her warm soft little body. But I know that I have to be positive for Cassie, and so I am taking my holistics to help with healing the grief and with being present and open to joy in this world.
Thank you for being there for me to help me in my life journey. You are a very important part of my life in so very many ways, and on so very many levels. Thank you for being my teachers, my friends, my support system, my counselors, my cheerleaders, my Yorkie Talk family. And that is what we are, family, from all across the country and the world, I think. We are one, connected by love and spirit, and connected to and by all the animal souls that we have ever loved.
In gratefulness
