Thank you all so much. I am so happy yet scared to be so, especially when I remember what happened to Lauren's Ani when she was thought to be OK and allowed home. But it is all so much more hopeful than yesterday - don't let up on the Board Magic yet though.

One strange thing - since Persil has been sick, Ellie and Dushka have been much more friendly to each other. Normally they ignore each other, and occasionally growl when they are in competition for my lap or a particular toy or food bowl. But now they are eating from the same dish, playing chase and even licking each other. They both curled up on my keyboard till I had to move them to see it! It will be interesting to see if this continues.

I am glad it went well for her. I will keep sending healing vibes though. She still needs them.

We're not quitting until little Persil
is fully recovered!

It's nice when families stick together!

This is wonderful news-I have checked in every day fearing the worst. She's a little fighter isnt she? With her guts and our determination she WILL pull through.
Take care and look after yourself.

I'm a member of a German cat site with a "resident" vet, and checked out old posts just out of curiosity. I found posts about ruptured diaphragms regarding cats who'd tried to slip out of windows tipped open from the top, who'd been the victims of doors slamming, and one who'd fallen from a third-floor balcony. It might very well be that the potted plant fell on Persil. Her problem may have been due to a congenital defect, or to a simple mishap. I really hope that she recovers fully. I know she's had a very rough time (not to mention you), but this is so much better than FIP! Good luck, Jenny, and thank you for being there for underpriviledged creatures.

I've been waiting all day to come home to see how Persil was! This is such good news. I was soooo concerned. I will continue with my healing prayers for her recovery from surgery!

What wonderful news, Jenny!
I'm still praying for Persil. She reminds me of what little Alexander would look like now.

Jenny -- I'm so relieved that your beautiful little rescued kitten has come through the surgery and is wriggling around.

I'll continue to pray for her.

Persil is home! I just picked her up and she is fine, starving hungry and trying to pull her stitches out. She has no bandage on, which surprised me. I might have to go back and ask for one. The surgeon says she must go back in 11 days for a check and to have the stitches out (if they are still in!!) and to try to keep her calm. Fat hope, even in isolation. The others were thrilled to smell her and would hardly let her out of the carrier because they were trying to get in! I will keep her in my bedroom for a day or two with her own food etc but I do hope now that everything will be all right. Keep the vibes coming for a bit longer.

The only danger point is in 90 days, when the absorbable stitches that hold her diaphragm together will have dissolved. If she gets past that OK then she should be fine for the rest of her life.

Thank you all again and a happy new year to all TCS members.

Jenny, you can make her a sweater to wear that may protect her stitches. You can use a sock or if she is too big for that a sweatshirt sleeve works. A E-collar from the vet would work better, but the sweater may keep you sane until you get that. Becky
