Not so bad of a day

I have been improving the last few days with all these drugs I have been taking. I'm glad I don't have to have a shot every morning. My breathing is very good today. I gave Girl Human a big head bonk of thanks tonight. She was so happy that I have had a normal day.
Girl Human just hopes we can get thru Thanksgiving weekend without problems. She is always so afraid to brag on me for fear of the "big jinks".

Tonight I have been walking about sniffing everything. Could that mean he is able to breath and smell like a normal kitty. Hope what ever the Doctors did the other day did the trick!!! There is so much to catch up on. Girl Human decided she will just have to deal with all this one day at a time. She will be returning with me to the vet Tues or Wed. after Thanksgiving so crossed paws and prayers. =

Thanks so much for all the contributions you great Caster Human's and Furs have given thru the Chipin Donation on my and Annie Spokescat's pages. You have helped us to get a little closer to our goal.

We only hope we will be able to say all is cured and well, real soon. I do also want to thank everyone for the gifts on my page and cards that I have received at the Junction. Girl Human has to do her dedication tomorrow for Mr.Z and then will start working on the thank you's. I will say it will be so nice to be able smell catnip once again.

Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. My Santa find some neat stuff for each and every one of you on Black Friday. We are hoping for a new cat tree here. Santa may not have room in his sly for one.

Home at last.

Hello my Catster furrends. I'm home and tired. I hissed at Girl Human twice and hide under the bed. I was mad. She did not feed me, she put me in that scary purse for kitties and made me ride in her car. She saw pictures of my insides. How humiliating can it get? Pink Princess dishes now this.
The Dr. said, my teeth are fine my nose and face has no broken bones or evident tumors. That is not to say, I still don't have those problems 100%. My sinus has no space in it on the x-ray. It's like I don't even have one.
The Doctor gave me some super strong antibiotics and a Steroid shot. I have meds to take at home twice a day. There is no sign of allergies, fungus, or appearance of polyps . Without further investigation the question is still not answered. Some relief for Girl Human. She was so scared I would not be coming home again. She was prepared for the worst.
Now it's a day by day thing. Next step? Hopefully my breathing will be regulated. Then there will be time s to go further with a Rinoscopy,Doppler- Endo/something, MRI, or some other step.
What ever it will be we are still hoping the meds will keep the airway open and he will keep eating and comfortable.
I'm feeling better tonight. The meds will buy us a little more time to get us through Thanksgiving. Paws crossed still.
Thanks everyone for all your support concern and donations to help me get better. We are at $397.00. How wonderful. Now the big C is on the back burner as a worry Girl Human can think clearer. With all the bills so far, we are so glad to have your help for our next step. Girl Human is exhausted as 3 nights of little sleep is catching up. So we will say good night furs and Humans. Nudges to all but gently please. Even my whiskers hurt.

I'm not going to be happy tomorrow. I just know it!!!

I hear Girl Human talking to the doctor today. They have some ideas. They have not let me in on, yet. I know they were taking about me.
Girl Human gave me another shot this morning. I spent most of my day eating and rattling while I breath and eat..
This medicine must make me super hungry. Girl Human fed me every time I was in the kitchen. I hung out there a lot, just waiting.
She put some yummy hard food in the main dishes. To her surprise, I ate some. I can't eat out of the regular dishes. Girl Human gave me one of Meshia's pink Princess dishes.
Now, normally with me being a guy and having a name like Peaches, guys may begin to talk. But remember it's only temporary.
Meshia was upset that I had her dish. She was not getting any of the food, I was eating. She was confused. She had a fight with me. Girl Human told her no. Meshia looked like her little heart was broken.
Now let me tell you, she can lay on the biggest guilt trip. Those eyes of her's melt anyone's heart. She knows it, too. If all else fails she falls over, shows her little fat belly and then everyone laughs.
I don't mean to take her dish. I can eat better out of it. My whiskers don't touch. They hurt. Girl Human saw my face was all swollen on the left side this morning more, then the normal it has been.
I'm going to the Vet in the morning and they are going to anesthetize me. they are going to do x-rays, check my teeth, nose and flush out my sinus again. This time they are going to be real detectives and look for clues. I know I'm not going to feel good after that.
They hope this will help to get the medicine to work a little longer. They may find something plus they will do another antibiotic treatment.
For those of you who have been using the Chipin I want to thank you so very much. It's not showing anything because they are holding the money until the bank OK's the account. They say it will be 48hrs. I am receiving notices of money coming in but have no idea from who at this point. My Fundrazr on Facebook is working. Right now it looks like I have close to $300.00 between both donation points.I am so indebted to all of you wonderful people..
Male Human want to thank the person responsible for making the beautiful DDP Posters he said to say GOD BLESS YOU. Thank you guys so very much for everything you are doing for us. I can't say it enough.
Thanks for the DDP honor for the second day in a row. Makes me feel so good. I think I will go get a snack out of my Princess dish now. I can eat till midnight when they take my food away. Goodnight all.

Chip in and help

Peaches has not had a very good response to the medication. Girl Human got up at 5:30 and gave him his shot 3 hrs early and a day sooner. She went to the vet today and got another injection to give him tomorrow.
The Dr. is going to antithesis him on Wed. and check him very closely and do some x-rays to see if he may have missed anything or that there may be a clue waiting for us.
Even Grandma Human gave us a check for $10.00 today to help with the cause. We don't know if we will reach our goal it is so much to try and get. We have had a lot of help and we are praying hard that the Vet will give us some good news Wed..
Keep those prayers going for him please.

We now have a Chipin on my page if anyone would like to help us meet our goal.

Not feeling my oats

I'm not doing as well today. I did do one thing that made Girl Human happy, I took my pill with out a fight. Well I did voice my opinion but she said I was a very good boy. Then she gave me that hug-g-e kiss-e junk. Oh, I just hate that. Brush me, pet me, but that's the line drawn in my litter box. I fussed but made up later and spent most of my day near her.
She said it is because I'm not happy, and I'm not but I did really need to thank her for trying. She told me she will get up extra early so she can give me a shot before Male Human leaves for work. She does pretty good with the needle stuff but I still won't stand for it on my own.
My rattles have returned while on the pills. They are not helping so se said she will give me my shot a day sooner and call the Dr.. She has been doing a lot of thinking about our problem and when I look at her she can't help but hug me. I know she is worried and does not want to make any rash decision. I will be with her when she needs me and let her hug me if I must.
Thank you so much for all the nice notes and the contributions being made to my Facebook Fundrazr page. You guys are the greatest.
Good night for now. Your fur friend Peaches and Girl Human.

Meds helping feel a little better

I slept most of the day. Girl Human interrupted me for a photo shot. What is with these Humans??? Always having to have your photo. Girl Human tried to shove a pill down my throat this morning. I yelled and twisted and then Male Human was called to help. Well needless to say, my pill was taken. I get pills for 2 more days then another shot then pills again. I'm a sweet guy like most guys. I'm the worst patient when I'm not feeling well. Just like a guys, I am.
I did eat several times today. Girl Human gave me some nice stinky canned fish so I could smell it. I will turn in early and get a good nights rest.
Thank you all for praying for me and leaving those nice messages.

No good news

Girl Human has received not so good news today. Daughter Human took her out for lunch to give her a little breather. What a wonderful girl she is.

The Vet can not do anything else for our Peaches. His breathing problem has returned. The next step will cost $1500 to $2000 dollars for a specialist to do a microscopic evaluation. Plus we will have to do some long distance traveling. If he needs surgery it will be much much more.

Christmas at the Junction was going to be very thin this year already. Now a decision to proceed must be decided. He is on medication once more to help his breathing. He did eat a little tonight. But we can only medicate for a while before it will no longer work for him.

The Doctor is thinking tumor. Now decisions have to be made. This the part of the Sanctuary I hate the most.

Having to return

Wanted to give you all an update. I was doing so well. Late today, it all started again. My noses is rattling and I did not eat. Girl human will call my Vet in the a.m., again. We all thought all was well and the shots had done the trick. Girl Human did not want to say anything. She was afraid of jink-sing my progress. I feel bad and am hanging with Girl Human tonight. Now she will worry about me all night. It always happens on the weekend. Next weekend she is to be away for one day sure hope I'm all better then.

Crossing paws

So far so good. Girl Human hates to say things like that because things seem to happen after she thinks all is going well. She has given me my shots and I have been super good about it. Male Human holds me and girl Human does the deed. I have not even complained. The needles are pretty good size and she has done well with getting them in without me feeling to much.
I have not sneezed once. Time will only tell as when these drugs wear off and several days go by we hope the sneezing is done and what ever I had is gone. So paws are crossed.
Thanks guys for stopping in and checking on me. Have a safe Halloween and my paws are crossed for all my east coast friends.

Back I Go!!!

This morning at 7 a.m. I woke Girl Human with a loud howl. She came running finding me with my right paw rubbing my nose. I howled and sneezed and sneezed and sneezed.
Girl Human got dressed and waited for the Vet to open and called as soon as they opened. So then I was shoved into the pink carrier. Now, I know my names is Peaches and it's no wonder people think I'm a girl. They see me in a Pink Carrier and all the awwwww isn't she cute stuff starts. How embarrassing for a big orange guy like me..
My vet was not there he was in school this weekend for updating his licenses. I had a lady vet. Well at least she knew, I was a boy. So I was poked and given a shot to reduce swelling of my sinuses. Girl Human has to inject 3 more treatments over the next 4 days.
While I was waiting for my shot I had another sneeze attack and scratched my nose with my claw. Now it hurts inside and out. The Doctor said I may have to go and have a microscopy at a far far away place. a 100 miles away. I was a good traveler for a few miles but have never gone more then 30 miles at one time in my whole life.
Well all we can do is cross paws and hope. My gum is all better now so I did get a bit of good news.
Updates to follow. Thanks everyone once again for all the nice messages and gifts.
