Miracle!!!!!!!!!
 

ANGELS all!!!!, you have accomplished a MIRACLE. Dr. called today absolutely glowing and thrilled beyond words! I could tell by the emotion in her voice. She said that Cassie is doing unbelievably well, that her lungs have almost completely cleared and that the nodular pattern has started to dissipate dramatically, so much so that they can now say she does not have cancer. She says that Cassie is acting just like she remembered Cassie to be, very much herself and her recovery is amazing. She says that Cassie is going HOME today, with a diuretic-furisomide, and miratenum an ABX (which she says is an injectable (for two or more wks)- which I am terrified of-I hate needles, and I am afraid of them and afraid to give it to Cassie who is so small and fragile-or she says I can bring her by 2X a day and they will do it themselves-which I might opt for!!!). Cassie has an appointment on Tues with the cardio/pulmo Dr. for echo etc., and possibly even to see ONC just to rule out once and for all, but they are almost positive it is a weird type of bacterial pneumonia. They are doing a heart worm test, however unlikely just to rule it out. They will also recheck x-rays to make sure she is continuing to progress. My heart is full of wonder, joy and love. Thank you all for your prayers, for your active participation in Cassie's healing. You are our Angels, and I am eternally grateful from the bottom of my heart. I am crying with joy and gratitude as I write this. My soul is at peace and i am able to breathe fro the first time in over a week. May you have many blessings at your door, and the wind at your back. Much Love to all my Angels Shellie:D:thumbsup:exclaim::woof::yay_jump::yay_ju mp::yay_jump:

That is great news!!!! YT prayers are the best!

Also, the doctor said Cassie is very lucky to have me as her mom-that Cassie being so sick and fragile, many others would have given up on her a long time ago. I told her my Angels and I would never give up on her for as long as she was willing to be here on this earth. Thank you for not giving up on My baby:)

Just wonderful, breathtaking news!!!

Poor little Cassie! My heart aches for you.. Be strong for your litte girl!
I will pray for both of you! :cry:

Im so happy that Cassie is better. I just opened this thread and next thing you know it I'm straight CRYING as I read it...( people at work must think I'm crazy). I am truly very touched to see all the love and support we all give here!

I hope all continues to go well got Cassie. I had to give ny cat fluids sub q which I didn't think I could do. They showed me how and I became very good at doing it. Taking fragile Cassie twice a day back to the vet could be very upsetting to her. Do consider trying to do the injection yourself. It still gives me the creeps when I think about sticking a needle into skin. You do what you have to do.

I am so glad to hear how beautifully Cassie is doing. She wants so desperately to come home to her mom who loves her so dearly. You are both so lucky to have each other.

How wonderful I too was crying with happiness as I read the latest update. Home with Momma the best medicine ever for Cassie. Sending prayers for her continued improvement and that the future tests rule out anything bad. Buster sends Cassie gentle nose kisses.

Wow! WTG Cassie! Kudos to your vets too! I couldn't be happier for you both!

I have such a good feeling about this, I believe Cassie will make a full recovery...and I for one can't wait. By the way, I would never give up on her...my prayers continue. Give yourself some credit, you did what was right for your baby...you're an awesome mom!!! Please let us know if she's home, how she's doing and how her diagnostics go.

The update was music to my ears! I am thrilled for you and the progress that Cassie has made. I pray for her continued recovery and healing! Hugs to you!

Update
 

I am holding her in my arms as I type, so I am typing one handed and it is slow going I can tell you, LOL:)

Today was a very eventful day in so many ways-some horrific, disturbing and upsetting, some wonderful and joyful. It started off with a bang, and i do mean bang-and a trio of wrong directions. We were on the way to picking up Cassie's medicine at the new compounding pharmacy, which was closing early that today, and all the instructions given on how to find them, were wrong. It was not across the street from the stated restaurant, but up the block, it was not the first driveway on the left, but the second, etc. etc. We were driving around for 20 minutes before we found the pharmacy, and then right in front of our eyes, in the parking lot, there was a loud crash, I saw a small jeep or something like that, going what sounded like hundreds of miles per hour and go crashing headlong into several cars. It was the loudest crash I ever heard and the jeep was practically sitting on top of those other cars. I was very shaken and ran to call the police. I doubted that the driver was alive, but he was and he was given a towel for his bleeding head and he was taken away in an ambulance. The police and ambulance were there in minutes thank god-very traumatic.

Then the pharmacy gave me the wrong dosage for the furisimide, 1 ML instead of 0.1ML, 10 X the dosage that was supposed to be given. I caught it then because I am used to giving her syringes of medicine, and it is never as much as 1ML, but usually 0.3 ML or 0.4ML or 0.2ML but never 1ML as she is so tiny. I was beside myself, and I screamed so loud, I think there are people going to be fired. If I had not questioned it and given the dose as written, like so many other people who might not realize it, she would be dead with 10X the intended dose. I was literally shaking.

Then off to pick up Cassie. It took a very long time for D/C. We made appointments for tomorrow to show how to give injectables,
(I'm still terrified) and for her Tues appointments at the Clinic. They could not find the clothing I left with them-a minor deal, and they needed to report on when she last ate, had meds and her home tincture, etc, etc, I spoke with the doctor, who was wonderful, and she and another doctor later in the evening both shared with me that in looking at her x-rays and seeing how she looked over the past 11 days as well as reading her chart, they both said at different times, that they gave her about a 5% chance of survival. They both said they have never seen such a dramatic turn around and they say her recovery was nothing short of miraculous. THANK YOU ANGELS!!!

Finally our trip home was not as calm as I had envisioned. She got tangled in the blankets they wrapped her in when they D/C'd her, my father tried to hold her in a very awkward way and I had to take her back from him, she got jostled around a bit and he had glasses in his pocket which poked her & when we finally got home she wouldn't eat and seemed to be hiccuping constantly. Then my 90 YO father with dementia (whom I am the caregiver of) fell down while bringing me the cordless phone that I asked him for while I was sitting with Cassie in my arms, in order to call the ER for questions about her eating and breathing. I almost threw her on the bed (but I didn't)- but I put her down less tan ideally on my bed in order to go help my poor father off the floor. He was alright thank god, and we ended up going back to the ER for a recheck. They did another x-ray, and it looked even better than before. They said that her breathing was okay and that she was not totally recovered yet and that is why she still needed to be on the ABX. They gave her her lasix and karo syrup & sent her home with instructions to come back at 9AM the next day.

So here we are sitting and typing this Tome to you, Cassie in one arm and my other arm and hand at the keyboard. Her breathing is often very regular, soft and quiet, and then occasionally she will hiccup, or shake or jerk, and then she goes back to breathing regularly. Now she seems a little more restless, so perhaps she is thirsty, like she was this evening, or has to go potty, although she pees all over me all the time lately :-) LOL. So I have to go. I'll keep you all posted. She's starting to jerk more often- have to get her water. But this is our story and I'm sticking to it!

Love, Shellie
