Chester is still in the hospital. He's been very lethargic, did not eat on Saturday but ate for me last night. This gave me hope after rather gruesome conversation I had with the vet, but in the morning his blood count went down again and he is back to not eating or drinking. We did another ultrasound today, it looks clean, but he still seem to have internal bleeding, probably triggered by the meds he was on (anti-inflammatory). He is on pain patch, sleeping a lot as he is very anemic. I hate it that they poke and torture him so much. My husband and I are taking turns practically camping there. It's a great hospital and they let us snuggle there with him, as I do not want him to think we abandoned him. He is a rescue boy and I want to make sure he knows he is forever with us.
He's been having a lot of head twitching, which makes them suspicious of head tumor, so we want to do MRI as soon as he gets better, and see neurologist, but he needs to be put under anesthesia for that so we need to get him well first.
We did additional thyroid tests yesterday, additional plasma and you name it tests today, just waiting for results. If they are bad and his blood count lowers, he is going to get another transfusion today. I am going to go after work to spend some time with him, I was lucky to spend 2 hrs at lunch there and my husband was there all morning and is going there soon. So he has company almost all day. We have to share our time between him and Lily. Unfortunately we both have to work, so today was rather exception. i wish I could be there all the time
On a good note, Lily's tests came great, so she is hanging on right now and fighting. I know it is temporary, but I am enjoying every moment I have with her and it makes me happy to see her free of pain and breathing easier. She is a sweet soul with the most amazing zest for life and such a great disposition, I get a lot of strength from having her around right now.
Thank you all for support, and please say few prayers for my babies if you could spare them.
Hugs to all your babies.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers daily
I empathise completely. I have spent the last few months struggling with tests and diagnosis for Raven. And now struggle with the hospice care knowing it's only a matter of time and appreciating every day I wake up and he's still with me.

To be going through what you are with BOTH, I simply cannot imagine. I pray that Betty hangs in there for me to lean on when I lose Raven, I don't think I'd make it without her.
Hang in there and know that I pray for you every time I talk to God (which is a lot lately).
