R.I.P. Chloe

Update: I talked to my mother finally. She said that my Step-dad, Steve, took Chloe to a different vet and was told that unless they could pay around $600+ for 3 different tests, to figure out what is wrong, then she only had about 3 months, at the most, to live. And that's not counting all the painful pokes and pricks she would have to endure...She was in pain and was not getting better from the medicine after all. They decided to help her to the bridge this morning and Steve was taking her to the place where my Jewels (RIP 9/16/01) and my mother's other kitty, Tigger (RIP 2006), was cremated to have her cremated as well. I am trying to get around to everyone to leave thank you's for your kind words. However, the beans keep unplugging the laptop and hindering the process. I am making my mother a scrapbook of the boys and her cats for Christmas and am thinking of including a page with all of your comments in it. It would definately take her by surprise and make her smile. My mother sent me a text message saying that Chloe had crossed the bridge. I do not have any details, as I am waiting on her to call me around lunchtime, which is any moment now.

She was doing much, much better last time I talked to her. But, we didn't make it to church yesterday for me to ask my mother about her. I know Sandy and Snowy (Chloe's twin) are probably sad and looking for her.

I will have the full story as soon as my mother calls.

Tuxie Tuesday

Here's a lil tongue action for you all today! lol. Help, I'm in jail!
Grandmommy says that Chloe is doing lots better. She is still weak at times and wants to play but just cant find the energy. Her lungs are looking better too. She is still on antibiotics and they are saying that they couldnt find the hole in her heart yesterday when she went back! Holy Cow! They couldnt find it! That's good news. Maybe good things will keep happening for her! Again, thank you all for your kind prayers and thoughts. Chloe is getting better everyday.

Oh, and Redfurd, I feel like I have been neglecting you with my girlfriendly duties. Mom hasnt been able to help me get online (other than her blackberry) because she has been having her own troubles the past two days. But, she's feeling much better today!

Chloe

Hey everyone. Things have been crazy with all the running around going on here today. The beans had 2 birthdays to go to and then the Tennessee vs Alabama football game. Anyway, I didn't talk to my mother until just a minute ago. She said that Chloe is actually doing a bit better. Apparently, Chloe wasn't able to lay down unless she was on the back of the couch slumped over it, and today she is able to lay in the floor and actually be somewhat comfortable. So, the prayers from all of you are slowly working for her. Thank you all so much. She still has a ways to go. I don't have any other updates as far as the fluid in her lungs or about the hole in her heart because my mother was in a hurry to get back to work. But, even the slightest bit better is good news. Again, I will keep you all updated on her progress.

Thanks you everyone for asking about her.

Update: Chloe

Update: Mommy here again: My mother called and is on her way to take Chloe back to the vet. She even said that is if she is still here and hasn't crossed the bridge. That is so sad. She said that Sandy, her not white kitty (who looks like Gizmo's man, Redfurd!) who usually doesn't have much to do with the twin whities, has been sittin' there staring at Chloe and even goes up to her and licks her nose. He knows something is wrong and feels bad for her. And for him to do this, it has to be something bad.
Well, mom was supposed to have her there at 3:30cst, so I should have another update in a bit. Please say more prayers and send purs her way. This is making my mother feel very sad. And I have no idea how Snowy is feeling. She is Chloe's twin. So, they are usually inseparable and if all goes bad, then she will probably be very saddened as well.
Ok, well we are getting a new couch and love seat tomorrow morning. I gotta clean up the living room and figure out a way to get this old recliner couch out the door. My husband isn't home yet, and I am tired from the day of worrying about Chloe, keeping up with the boys, and trying to figure out how we are going to fit the new couch/ls in here tomorrow...

You Are All So Sweet!

Thank you for all the prayers for Chloe. Mommy almost started crying reading all the comments from the last post. I believe that every prayer will help her. Mommy said she can't get over how nice everyone from the cat blogosphere is. I feel like you all have become some of my closest friends over these months I have been blogging. You are all always there to help a kitty in need. I am very grateful to have friends like you. I will update everyone on Chloe's condition as grandma let's us know. Thank You again!!!

PeeEs: Mommy got the sniffles helping me type this. :-)

Please Say A Prayer for Grandma's Kitty, Chloe

April here, I just wanted to take a few minutes to ask for prayers for my mother's kitty, Chloe. She had taken all three of her cats to the vet last week for their shots, etc. Well, they noticed Chloe was having trouble breathing. Well, she has since been back I believe two times. JB, the vet, said that she has fluid on her lungs and is on antibiotics. BUT, he also said that she has a hole somewhere in there. I am guessing in her heart or somewhere like that. And that is also making her breathe harder. My mother has had the twins for only a year, so it's very sad. She doesn't know what is going to ultimately happen to Chloe. I believe she has to go back soon to see if the antibiotics are helping. My mother also said she may need surgery. She doesnt think they could afford it if Chloe does need it. She said she may have to just let her go in peace if nothing else can be done. It is so sad....Here is a picture of Chloe with Landon.
