Update on Knee ~ Hi

This is what she used to look like.

Now she is just a skinny version of this picture and

she has also lost some of her white whiskers.

The vet told me not to be surprised if I woke

up one morning and she was

bald.

Just kidding!

Things on this end are not going good at all.

She is still nauseated and throws up.

She got her eating tube but tonight it is not

working. Tomorrow I am going to the vet's

office and I am not leaving until he shows me why

it will not work when it used to.

I had no trouble over the week-end.

Last night she threw up all night long.

It seems that the feeding tube is too long.

I took her back today and he checked her out

and shortened the tube so it was not

so far in her stomach.

I was encouraged but now I can't get any

food down her. If I try to force it the water

or food just squirts out the back of the tube.

I am afraid to force it cause then she tries to run.

Is God trying to tell me something and I am just

too pig headed to listen?

Or is he trying to tell me to be patient?

My gut tells me pig headed!

So back I go to the vet to get something done

for poor little Knee ~ Hi. She was supposed

to have her next treatment for the cancer

but since she has not been able to eat or drink

I guess we will have to skip it this week.

AGAIN!

Why is this happening?

Any comments from anyone that has been there?

I appreciate all your comments and thoughts and prayers.

Please keep them coming! You are all so dear to me

and I send God's love and blessings to you all.

Knee ~ Hi

Could Knee ~ Hi

have known what was in store

for her or did she just

have

a

Headache?

Today the vet put in a feeding tube.

All of her pretty hair was shaved

off around her neck.

She sports a white bandage that

keeps the tube in place.

Tonight I fed her for the first time.

Actually,

I used a feeding tube

for the very first time.

It works so

nicely and so far so good.

She did great, and has not even tried to throw up!

A HUGE YEA!!!

It will be so nice to go to sleep and know

she got fed today.

She even managed to pee.

Things are finally looking up.

The vet is

SURE that the tumor has shrunk that is in

her nose, too.

She did not have any chemo this week but come

Tuesday, if she is feeling OK. we will do that

again.

That will be two weeks of killing

that evil tumor.

Your prayers are still needed for my furbaby.

I do thank you so much

for all your kind thoughts and heartfelt prayers.

Your thoughts have gotten me through

this week ~ except for the 23rd. and

Nothing could have helped me that day!!!

Knee ~ Hi sends you lots of cat licks

and sweet kisses.

Take care all and God Bless you

and keep you safe from harm.

Happy stitching!!!

Update : Knee ~Hi the cat

I am sitting here with Knee ~ Hi

as she repeatedly has the dry heaves.

Except they are not dry, rather she

throws up foam.

To say her chemo is not going well is an

Understatement!!!

I have taken her back to the vet twice in two

days and tomorrow is Sunday. Every time she

smells food she starts to throw up.

He did a complete blood count (CBC)

on her today and the numbers all looked

good except potassium (She won't eat) and her liver

was a little high. But considering the assault

to her system it is not unusual.

They had to give her Sub Q fluids twice and

she does better but this is worrisome.

I have not gotten much sleep as it is

because it is like having a very young sick

child in the house... again.

I hear every noise she makes and if I am asleep it

wakes me up.

But I can't really help her.

So please say a prayer for her that she gets

through this faze and is finally cured.

It's not too much to ask for one small

cat is it?

I am almost beside myself now

and don't know if I have done the right

thing.

It is always so easy to second guess

yourself when things aren't going right.

Why does this stuff always happen

on the week-end late at night?

The vet said I could call so I will in the morning

maybe I can give her something.

Do cats drink Ginger Ale?

It could be a solution!!!

Thanks for looking You all mean the world to me

and I appreciate your comments.

Take care and God Bless ~

Prayers for Knee~Hi

Today I took Knee~Hi down to Copperas Cove to a Vet there

who operated on her beautiful ears.

Unfortunately, she has cancer.

Her other eye had

developed Horner's Syndrome this morning

and when the vet looked inside her ears one of

her ear drums was blown out and the other was

bulging from the inside.

Both were full of pus from the infection the tumor had caused.

He opened that ear drum, irrigated both ears and put

medicine inside her ears and sealed them with wax so the

medicine can heal the ear drums.

He also took samples and sent them off to A&M

to make sure it's cancer.

He is sure it is though.

No, she can not hear and she had not really

come back like we hoped so I need prayers for my sick cat.

We will start the chemo on Friday two shots once

every week for three weeks.

Then she gets two shots every

three weeks for three times.

She deserves to have some quality of life and the

Vet thinks this can happen cause cats respond to

treatment when they have lymphoma.

Not forever,

but sometimes for a couple of years.

Doesn't this sweet face deserve that?

So . . . your prayers will be much appreciated

and Knee~Hi sends you a lick.

Take care and God Bless ~

Lenna
