Danielle is in the hospital

My new title

Val, the couch lump!

I like it, :LOL:

Thanks guys for your advice.

I am happy to hear that everything is coming out positive so far! I can symathise with missing them. I had one of my babies in the hospital for 2 weeks not to long ago (long story). I missed her every day she was gone. They must have gotten sick of me calling to check in on her. I actually went to Rene's house to cuddle my cats sister, they are twins. It will be so nice when she is back home in your lap again!!

Just spoke to the surgeon. He says Danielle's X-rays look "fantastic". He said her ear problem was a chronic, long term irritation, where polyps built deep in the ear up to the point where they were really, really bothering her. Those were all scraped out. The big blue polyp that was a concern mostly, we won't have the results for a few days,but he said he thought it was all right. In any case, if it does turn out ot be malignant, it has not spread to her head (as the X-rays showed)

We get to bring her home tomorrow night. She will be on an antibiotic (AGAIN!) And pain meds. Poor baby.....

But the prognosis is very good....WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you guys for your support.

:::doing the dance of joy::: yaaaaaaaaaay!!

:blubturq:

Congrats on the good news!! You must be a very happy Kitty Mommy! I hope all the remaining results are good ones. I'm sure Danielle will be so happy to be home!

Melissa yes, she will be very happy to be home. Unfortunately, she will need pain meds, so I hope her discomfort isn't awful. She will also probably be wearing one of those collars , which, I know my furry daughter!! She will HATE it!

But at least she will be back home and I can nurse her.

This is such good good news. I am happy for you all!
Poor little Danielle (and you) have been through so much getting her all healthy again......
Here are some kitty kises for her to come home to!:lips: :lips: :lips: :lips:

So glad she is alright!!

Sure hope Danielle came home as planned & that she is doing well. Hope she is not having much trouble with pain from the surgery.

Has she behaved any differently since her trauma? Am sure she is really glad to be out of there!

guess you've been too busy to post about her recovery but we are all interested.

Mandy, yes, very busy, sorry....

Since we brought her home last night, we are also dealing with my father-in-laws crisis, he is in the hospital, nothing serious, he has a URI. He is 79 and fell last night, and had to be taken to the hospital. I hope he is okay. Actually this to me is a good thing, because we have been trying SOOOOO hard for him to get a checkup. This way he is forced to, so I think it will work out okay in the end. We are going to visit him in the hospital tonight.So between that and Danielle, I have been really busy since last night.

Dani was terrified . But once she was out of the cage at home, she started to warm up again, and I could tell she was ECSTATIC to be home!!

She is not on pain meds, (she doesn't seem to need them) but she is on Orbax pill for 7 days, and an ear drop (tresaderm) which has cortisone in it to help with the discomfort. The Doc also did not think she needed a collar, and he said if she is excessively scratching, we will get one.

She has been CLINGING to me and my husband since last night, but I think she will be fine.

I hope this is the last of the medical problems for quite some time..
Oh yeah, and her X-rays came out great.

Sooooooo my little adorable baby is home and safe and getting extra special cuddles.

We go back Saturday for a checkup/follow up visit to the Vet.

She is eating and drinking fine.

It is so good to have her back.

Thank you ALL for your support, I really appreciate it. I haven't had time to read and catch up on all the new postings, but I hope to in the next few days.

Thanks again.

Vjoy
I am glad Danielle is doing well, and hopefully, she will stay healthy for a while. You will be able to realize how rewarding owning a pet can be.

I hope your father-in-law is OK too.

but I'm sure you are handling it well.
So glad to hear that Danielle is so happy to be back home; almost as happy as you are to have her back!
Too bad about your father-in-law's problem but as you said at least maybe he will get some check-up now.
Give Danielle hugs & kisses from all of us too & some long distance cuddles.

Mandy

Thank you everyone.

Val,

I have been away a few days and only now have seen this thread. I can tell you I have been reading it with my hands gripping the table...

I am so relieved Danielle is at home and everything turned ok for her. For me the most wonderful is you saying that she actually felt at home... and that she clings to you and your husband...

I hope all goes well for you father in law.

Anne-Claire

Thank you Anne-Claire and everyone....

Father-in-law still in the hospital, and I am still really busy.

I hope to catch up on all the posts this weekend.

I need sleep! :LOL:

Just checking in...........
