Purrs and prayers for Catnipped

Catnipped was rushed to the emergency room on Thursday around noon. 10:30PM
Thursday night they found out a portion of her intestine had died due to no
circulation. By midnight she was being operated on and had two and a half
feet of intestine removed. She has infections in her abdomen, blood and
kidneys, her body temperature is a little over 93. As the doctor explains it
to me her condition is beyond critical. If she makes it through the 1st 2
weeks her prognosis will be much better. She is looking at a minimum 1 week
in ICU and about 8 weeks before a second surgery to reconnect her stomach
and intestines. The good news is that even though she has a tube down her
throat and 10 IV's going at the same time (literally, I counted them) she is
awake, responding, complaining and making the nurses jump through hoops for
her. They tell me this is actually a good thing. She is able to gesture and
shake her head yes or no to questions. She had told me before the surgery to
let this group know what was happening and I asked her today if this was
still her wish. She shook her head emphatically yes.

So I ask, please, that purrs and prayers be sent her way, she has a long
road ahead and I will bring her messages to her until she is able to respond
to them herself.

Thank you all,
DH

Many purrs coming from here for her.
But please will no-one "ever" again have a stomach stapling operation
because you
think you might be too fat.

Wow, maybe that is why she lost so much weight and was having problems
with eating. Purrs coming from the cats for CatNipped and her
family. I'm
sending healing thoughts as well and hoping that the surgery is very
successful
and she will be on the road to recovery.

Do they know what caused it? She's my friend BTW. Tell her 'cshenk' is
purring for her and she's got 2 wagtails as well.

Yes, though I've only been a nurses aide when it came to patient care and
many years ago, it's a good thing. I infer she has a colostomy setup just
now?

Thank you. Some of us really care about her. I am one of them.

If things get odd here, my email is and I have her regular
email but do not know if you can access it.

Just let us know how Lori is ok?

Stop it Christina. Had she ever even had such surgery, that was a low blow
at this time.

Thank you for letting us know. Tell her we're thinking of her and purring
like crazy for her to get better.

I agree, but I don't think this is the time to bring it up.

Mega Purrs for Lori on the way.

I completely agree, Carol. This is not the time to make such a statement.

Purrs for Lori. She's been having a rough time for a long time and I
sincerely hope she gets better very soon.

Purrs and healing thoughts on their way.
