I finally got to talk to the vet about 45 minutes ago. Harri did
survive te night, and she is breathing more easily thanks to massive
doses of antibiotics and steroids.

However, the x-rays show that both of her lungs are partially
collapsed. The vet has no idea what would have caused this, and he
has done all he can for her. He has referred us to a specialist in
Orange County. I was out in Orange County when he called me, so I'm
going to be putting in a lot of miles today (it's about a 3 hour
round trip). I stopped at home just long enough for a bathroom break
and to update everyone. As soon as I hit the "Send" button I'll be
hopping in the car, going to pick up Nancy at work, and picking up
Harri at the vet and making a high-speed run to Orange County. I'm
glad Nancy is coming, since I'm going to want to hold Harri and I got
no sleep last night so my reaction time is kind of slow.

After the specialist looks at Harri's x-rays and lab results he should
be able to tell us if Harri has a reasonable chance to survive. For
the rest of today your purrs and prayers would be more welcome than
ever before. With a little luck, by 3:30 or 4:00 Pacific time I'll be
learning if my little sweet baby will live or die.

In addition to purrs for Harri's health, we could also use financial
purrs. That Nancy's idiot boss will release her to her new job (that
pays 30% more than her current one), that I'll find a job, that the
insurance company will pay off on my totaled pickup quickly, and that
the specialist will take payments.

Mega purrs headed your way. I wish I could do more.
