Thankyou everyone for all of the sweet encouragement and vibes. I really appreciate it. I feel much better after getting some sleep (I didn't even hear my alarm clock this morning i was so tired, and i slept right through 2 of my classes
) The kittens seem to be a little playful this afternoon, except little Ruger- his whole face is broken out and he just doesn't look so good- so he's getting lots of extra love and attention as are all my sick boys. I'm still not sure what i'll do about Thanksgiving. I did watch my sister's animals the last time they went out of town, so i might see if she minds just keeping an eye on the boys for 3 days and giving them their meds- shouldn't be too hard. She's only about 4-5 minutes down the road if that. The thing is though- this year, she is doing thanksgiving at her house for about 50 of our family members, so i may see if my mom can come take care of them on Thanksgiving day instead. I dunno yet. If i can't find anyone to care for them, i will definitely stay back to care for them, but i'm hoping someone will watch them so I can go with Colin and Fosters. We'll see. For now i'm just worried about the boys not looking so good. lol, those poor boys think i'm some sort of evil medicine lady, because everytime i'm around them they're getting medicine
/ They're still eating and drinking well -so their gaining weight at a very healthy rate- so that's definitely one positive.

Aww....Nikki. I have to say all those kittens you foster are really lucky. We lost a litter of 6 weekers this summer...they had ringworm & a nasty URI & just didn't get over it. So, of course I'll be sending tons of get better vibes to the babies!

I'm soo sorry you lost your kittens. It's always soo sad to see a little foster kitten that you've cared for pass away
/ The kittens are still not looking so great at the moment. I did however catch Kolar jumping up on the table earlier much to my shock! I walked in the kitchen and there he was jsut sunning by the window trying to look innocent

Nikki, I'm still dealing with the ring worm too.......so I feel for you.Ours seems to be clearing up though.
Sending huge vibes and get well wishes that way for the boys.
If I lived closer, I'd keep them all.

Thankyou for all of your thoughtful vibes and prayers everyone- they are very much appreicated! Right now, little Ruger is looking the worst out of the bunch (I think the rest are about the same as they were earlier and Kolar is actually doing much better although his little face is still broken out). Right now I have little Rugar sitting on my chest covered in a nice fleecy blanket and he's getting lots of extra attention and getting to read 8-bit's threads on TCS! Hehe, he's enjoying all of the new ideas that are getting stuck into his innocent little head. He looks soo aweful right now that it makes me really sad- his face is gross and he's still all congested. I talked to the vet tonight on my break at work and let her know what was going on (she just saw them the other day- i took them in as soon as they got sniffly- i'm always really careful health wise with my fosters and take them in before things get yucky. She said to keep giving them the medicine - it takes a few days to kick in well, and if they're not better by friday/saturday to bring them in again- so that's what I will do if need be). Thankyou for all your concern everyone. I really appreciate it

Thankyou everyone- just a little update on my boys today- they're still sick and under the weather so far. Little Ruger's face does look a little better today though, so that's good
. My mom dropped me off at Colin's house today after my biopsey so she gave them all a little bit of fresh turkey and spoiled them rotten
She said that she was going to watch them for those days that Colin and I were planning on going out of town for Thanksgiving, because "those are her fluffy grandbabies" lol...so it looks like Colin and I will get to go to Alabama after all and the kittens will have an excellent baby sitter
/ They still need lots of vibes though- they are on 5 different medications at the moment and still a bit weak, but I think they are going to be ok

you're welcome!
No, she hasn't.
this guy said he'd be over to look..I think he went over to the shelter that is 30 mins away from here and adopted this boy, which is good he got a home, too.

I seriously feel like I am failing Memphis, because I can't find anyone that would take her.
I so wish I could.
I know she'll find the right home. I wish you were closer so you could adopt her. Atleast I know she would be in a good home with you. She'll find the right home. It just will take time for the right person to come along.

Hang in there Krista- I'm definite that the right home is out there waiting for little Memphis- she will find the right place for her when the time is right
