Remembrance Day


My Honey Bear,

I miss you everyday. My heart is still in pieces since you left. You are part my heart, the part that still chokes me up and brings me to tears every time I think of you, see your photo or talk to you. Thank you for helping me with our new Gidget. Teaching her how to trust and not be so afraid. 

Thank you for being my best friend for all those years. Thank you for all the love you gave me and all the trust you had in me to take care of you. I miss hugging you and kissing you. I miss pulling you close to me when I wake up in the middle of the night and you are there next to me.

I hope you are happy where you are up there where ever you are. I hope the big guy Steve is taking good care of you and that he is hugging you and kissing you for me. I can't wait till I get to see you again someday.

All my love my beautiful baby girl,

Your Mommie

My dream

She came up on the bed first and was translucent, i could see her but I could see through her and then she went over by the closet door by the window so I got up and picked her up and hugged her and told her that I love her and I miss her.  And she talked to me in a very distinct out load voice, a voice that I have never heard before, I had to move her away in my arms to look at her mouth to see if her mouth was moving, but she was "thought" talking to me. a mile a minute.  telling me that she was OK, she is fine and there was green grass, and she was free of her sick body,  and that she loves me and she knows that I love her.   She was more of a younger version of herself physically, very hyper and full of energy. 
Then I woke up very quickly and thanked her out loud for visiting me. 


I spoke to the animal communicator later that same day in the evening.  She said Honey was very proud of her self and proud of me that we made such great contact in the dream.  The animal communicator said is it very rare that when animal souls visit that they actually talk.

See you in my dreams

Honey came to me in my dreams last night.  It healed my heart a little.  I got to hug her and tell her that I love her and I miss her.

Sunday, May 31, 2015

Thank you all for your kind words

It is so lonely and quiet here without my girl.  My sorrow is beyond words.

Her passing was very peaceful and beautiful.  She was so brave.

Honey Sunshine haz left da building


Honey went to the rainbow bridge about 5:20 pm today.  She was wrapped up in 2 of her favorite plush blankets on a sofa in a private office at the Arden Animal Hospital, our regular vet, while I was rubbing her head.  She was my BFFF.  It was very hard but it was the right time.  I am heartbroken.

Honey, I hope you are running and jumping now and eating everything in sight.  I love you.

Please remember my girl as healthy and slightly plump and sassy like she was before all this bad stuff happened.


Honey sez today iz da day to say gudbye

i wunts no more yuckies an no more stabbies, i yam dun..........jus kiss me gudbye

Update

I don't know what to write anymore.  One day I think everything could be alright and the next day I'm not so sure.

She had her one week recheck.  Her numbers where slightly higher than when she came home, she came home with a  creatinine of 2.9 and it is now 3.2.  She has a kidney infection leading to possible CRF.  The antibiotics make her nauseous and give diarrhea so she does not eat much.  She has another recheck next Monday.  She is still on IV fluids, this morning was a failure but yesterday I did good at it, I will try again later.  They only other antibiotic that would work has a rare side effect of blindness, so we are sticking with the clavamox and some anti-diarrhea.  The kidney issue produces excess stomach acid, she has generic pepcid to take but they are pills and she won't take them so I crush them into her food, which she does not eat much of.

I am so disappointed is the lack of advances in feline veterinary medicine.   When I expressed this to the vet, she said yes, canine medicine is far advanced than feline.  why is that?  Cats live way longer than dogs for the most part.  Makes me want to go into Veterinary medical research, but I'm too old to start that now, if only I had know then what I know now.

This morning I was ready to let her go, but I did some research this morning.  The kidney infection is slow to heal because there is not alot of blood circulation for the kidneys and medicine is hard to get to the kidneys so it takes along time on antibiotic.  Also, she could live quite along time, months to even years, even tho her creatinine level is elevated.   I am lining up a mobile vet just in case for when I will need it so Honey can die at home and not at the crazy vet office.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this?

i hadded a gud day today


cept mommie keeps pokin me an gitten water all ofur me an squirten yuckie stuff down my froat

Friday, May 22, 2015

Ups and downs

The early morning started out with her eating then throwing up and diarrhea.  Then all the meds and fluid, then naps.  Then an episode of light seizure like thing from hyper tension, followed by more fluids and a call to the doctor.  Seems her reassessment is to be in a week not 2 weeks, the girls messed up, so maybe Tuesday now.  She had some probiotics for the diarehea and is resting.

It's very touch and go, i will let her decide when the time is but I won't be rushing her to the ER or the hospital anymore, too much stress and too much false hope.

Doing a little better today

still fragile but eating and sleeping good, haven't got to IV her yet today cause she keeps going back to sleep in the cave I made for her on the bed.  But boy is she snugly,  climbing into my lap while I'm working and wanting hugs.

She is home


well.....this is a deep subject.  We came home yesterday around 4pm.  Honey had to case the joint for several hours before settling down.  I was almost thinking that she had been gone so long that she didn't remember that she lived here.

I ran to the grocery store while she was wandering around, i came home 20 minutes later to find the internet modem on the floor in the bedroom.  Seems that she somehow got tangled in the wires that are behind a fake plant and unplugged the modem and pulled it down to the floor from the dresser.  I don't know if it hit her, thank dog that it is made of plastic.  She was hiding in the closet so i grabbed her and cuddled her.  She has never even gone near these wires before.

things are very touch and go... she didn't eat or drink anything last nite.  she came up in the middle of the night and snuggled with me.  I think I've been awake since 2 am.  I work from about 5:30 am till 3 pm, I'm working from home now.

This morning I got her antibiotic into her and the appetite stimulant.  Then later I got her IV fluids into her.  She is eating and drinking.  She is very skinny and wobbly.  I couldn't get the pepcid into her, the doctor still thinks she is having stomach issues too, nothing really defined here.

We have 2 weeks of all these meds then a reassessment as to whether she is gaining weight, if her kidney levels hold stable numbers and if she ever decides to eat without medicine.

She didn't get a lot of rest in the hospital, there were noisy dogs whining everywhere.

Monday, May 18, 2015

Today's Update

creatinine level 2.9 from 3.2 yesterday, can come home tomorrow or day after.  She will be on special diet and IV fluids and appetite stimulants if she doesn't eat properly. 

She wouldn't eat when I was there today at noon but it was very noisy in there.

Sunday, May 17, 2015

Sunday Update


her number are continuing to come down, 3.2 from 3.8 yesterday.  she ate food off of my finger and also ate food from the dish when i put it in front of her. she still will be in the hospital for at least 2 more days.  Look at how cute my baby is.

Saturday, May 16, 2015

update

Her marker numbers are coming down but she is still not eating.  The doctor says he feels that her kidneys are not hurting like they were.  I visited at noon today and they put us in a room so Honey could wander around.  She seems to be acting like she feels a little better. Her creatinine level was 3.8 today down from 4.9, still needs to be down closer to 2.0

Hospital Visit




I feel better after visiting Honey.  I met the doctor today and he is hopeful that it's a kidney infection, fingers crossed.  They will retest her levels tomorrow to see if there is any progress in her kidney levels.  She would not purr for me but she has some attitude and her tail was flicking cause there was noise in there and a dog was whining.  I can visit her tonight again at 7pm.  That's her blanket I brought from home for her, I slept with it last night so it would smell like me.

Update

sigh.......I am heartbroken.  My baby is in the hospital.  She wasn't there sleeping with me last night or when I woke up in the middle of the night.  I cried, I'm crying now.  I called to check on her around 5:30 am, she wasn't there to wake me this morning.  They say she is doing ok right now.  The doctors do their rounds between 8:30-9:30 am and will call me around 10.  Visiting hours are noon-2 and 7-9 pm.  I want her to have her blanket that has both our smells on it.  She has had no more episodes.  Kidneys malfunctioning can cause high blood pressure hence, seizure/stroke is possible.  They've given her fluids, potassium and antibiotics.

I will have to let he go if that is what she decides she needs to do.  I think the chemo did this.  I wish we would have stopped with just the radiation.  I should have know better.

The other shoe has dropped...

Honey had either a stroke or a seizure around 5pm today.  She is in the hospital.  Seems the kidney's are the culprit.  She will be in there for at least 3 days. either she has a infection in her kidneys or she is in renal failure...

my heart is breaking

Honey went to the specialty vet yesterday, to an internal medicine guy.  They did an ultra sound and everything looks OK.  They did a blood test for the pancreas and for her b12 levels, this will be back in a few days.  Honey got a b12 shot and a shot of anti nausea.  Other than pending results from  the blood test, everything is OK with Honey, no cancer, no indicators of anything on her blood panel.

While i was back home working , waiting for them to finished the ultrasound on Honey, I had scheduled a call with Carla Simmons.  I explained to her all that had went on since I last spoke to her which was right before Honey's surgery.  She spoke to Honey and explained to her that there was no more cancer and the bad parts were over.  She said it is like Honey has forgotten how to eat well.  Carla did a body scan on Honey next.  She said that she did not feel that there was anything wrong with Honey other than: "her heart is tight, clenched, there is no joy in her heart".  She is "waiting for the other shoe to drop".  "Her digestion is ok, but there is no spark in her digestive tract".

The b12 shot and the anti nausea shot did nothing to help Honey to eat last night.  She was pretty pissed off when she got home from the vet yesterday.  Probably because she knew that there was nothing wrong with her.  I had to work from home today because i had to get some food into her this morning.  I gave her a little appetite stimulant this morning and she has eaten some.  She slept curled up next to me all night last night.

My heart is breaking, I don't know what to do.....

Pleasantly plump and sassy....not so much

my baby, before the tumor, was pleasantly plump and sassy, not fat, but a good weight, a happy girl.  These days she is super skinny, barfing at least once every 10 days, sometimes food sometimes just bile, and not really her old self.  We have an appointment with an internal medicine doctor next Monday.  I have spoken with my 2 vets and her oncologist.  They don't think there is more cancer.  Honey will barely eat without appetite stimulants and she is super skinny.  I have bought all kinds of foods to tempt her, which Elvira is now eating.  I got some anti nausea medicine compounded to a liquid and she threw that up 5 seconds after she took it..

I feel that she has tummy issues, maybe nauseous but I can't get any meds into her, she won't eat them.  She never was a hearty eater except of temptations.  I also feel that she is psychologically kind of traumatized.  She was eating fine until she started the chemo treatments.

Maybe I'll get a hold of the the animal communicator again.

Caturday

so she finally forgave me yesterday afternoon, after she yelled at me from the back of the living room chair, I think her message was "I'm done with all this!!!"..  as of this morning she ate almost 2 fancy feast size cans of food, minus the stuff that went over the sides of the bowl, boy is she a messy eater, and she slept with me last night in between getting up to eat more food.  She doesn't have to go back for a checkup for 3 months.  

Thank you all that have made donations so far, every little bit helps, her bill for her final checkup was $901.00.  Her checkup in 3 months is only going to be a physical exam and no tests, thank cod.

Happy Caturday everyone!!
