I wasn't going to post this because I'm afraid to jinx anything with Cali's recovery but I was just talking to my great friend Gina and she said I should. Cali had a seizure Saturday afternoon. We were really scared that we were going to lose her. The vets stabilized her immediately and THANK GOD she's remarkably doing better today. This is a slow recovery and we're prepared for that, I just pray to god that she never has another seizure again. It was so frightening and awful. Jim was holding her and she went all stiff and lost control of her bowls. I thought she died right there in Jim's arms. I started screaming and Jim was crying and the vets and techs ran in and immediately took over. I have to say they have an EXCELLENT team, especially in a crisis situation. They knew exactly what to do. Jim and I were hysterical but they were so calm and assertive. I'm so thankful I have them watching over my Cali.

Thank god she's doing better. The vet said there's a significant difference in her today compared to yesterday. THANK GOD!! I really believe in the power of YT prayers!! Thank you all for praying for my baby!! I'm still scared because we aren't out of the woods yet but I feel more confident today that I did last week.

OMG what triggered a seizure?? Poor Cali and poor you guys being so frightened for her. Give her a kiss on her little nose from her auntie and Coco and Rocco. Cali is one lucky girl to have you as her mommy.

That seizure must have really terrified you! I'm so glad she's in good hands and is doing so much better.

Prayers and hugs,

It sounds like it was a very terrifying experience. Seizures are so scary, and even scarier with a baby her size. I'm still praying for her, and I'm glad that they're seeing improvement.

I will continue to pray for Cali to regain her strength and beat this thing that's gotten her so sick, poor little nugget.

OK, what wanted to tell you earlier was that when I called at 6:00 this morning, they said she was breathing without the oxygen now. They took it off at 5:00 this morning. They still had the mister going to help her. She was still not eating or drinking. They won't take the IV out til she drinks something and pees. They started coupage on her because the X-rays yesterday showed infection deep in the lungs. As soon as she is able, they want to start moving her and trying to get her to stand up and walk to help her cough.

Corrine PMd me last night about chicken broth for her. So I bought a chicken last night and cooked it up for some broth. I froze most of it and took some with me this morning hoping she would drink some of it.

So, I went at 9:00 when they opened for visitors and Tink's eyes were open and she wagged her tail when I put my hand in the incubator. Just a little bit - but it did wag! She wouldn't drink the broth but she sniffed it. They taught me how to do coupage - which I already knew from my kids having pneumonia years ago. She's very good about it. She just lays there and doesn't get upset at all.

This afternoon I went again cause they called and said she wasn't doing very well and they wanted to talk to me. I talked to the vet and he if worried that she may have some neuro damage from the infection. She had 2 seizures last night. The techs didn't tell me cause the dr. wanted to talk to me about what I wanted to do. I told him if she can function then keep doing what he's doing to get her better. If she's a little slow or has some tics, I don't really care. So, he's changing the antibiotocs a little and checking with a specialist.

She looked at me this afternoon and put her paw on my hand inside the incubator, so she knows me! That's good! AND she peed. She hasn't taken any food yet or water, but at least her kidneys are working! They shaved her little butt - poor baby looks a little funny. She wanted to come out of the incubator when I took my hand out and tried to get up but she's too weak. She did cry so she has the strength to do that.

I don't know what to think. I'm just going hour by hour and praying and praying. I want her to be all better and come home and play with me.

and theres more, same subject-just kinda weird. Maybe the rain & heat-mold in grass??? I dunno. I hope Cali gets well soon

Still sending thoughts and prayers to little Cali...hope she's getting better.
