Thinking of her family - I can only imagine. Heartfelt purrs for all of
them.

Posted to her CaringBridge site by a mutual friend:

"Allan called from ICU this morning. He talked to the pulmonary doctor
one more time to make certain removing the ventilator was the right
course of action. The doctor told him it is.

Christy is in systematic organ failure with the heart being the only
remaining organ that is functioning. The doctor told Allan the heart was
the next to go.

Christy was removed from the ventilator and sedative. She was given an
initial injection of morphine with additional injections to be given
throughout the course.

The doctor asked Allan what he wanted done if Christy went into cardiac
arrest. Allan told the doctor to do nothing. This is what Christy would
want. Allan asked the doctor how long. The doctor told him the last time
the ventilator was removed Christy went only 3 days breathing on her own
before having to be put back on it. Her condition has worsened since
then.

Allan wants to be with Christy at the end so he and his mother will be
staying at the hospital."

I'll never forget what a wonderful friend she's been. Remember how she
rescued and saved Miss Pua? Remember how horribly emaciated that cat
was? Christy nursed her back to health and we got to watch the
transformation from a starved waif to a gorgeous, shiny kitty Can't
forget her two tuxedos, either. Tyrone and Chloe

God bless her. May her passing be peaceful.
