All,
Dad Terry here: Here is an update on Gracie and the crew. I went early this morning to do all the paperwork and things to transfer Gracie to the Internal Medicine Specialist. Before the transfer I got to visit with Gracie. She has a way to go yet but she looked much better this morning. She was bright-eyed and recognized me right off. She is still in the oxygen cage but when I put my hand in through the portal she started head butting my hand, and it was some pretty powerful head butts too, so she is much stronger. She even wanted to crawl out through the little portal to see me. As luck would have it, her Emergency Vet was checking on her when I arrived and she is pleased with the progress Gracie is making. Gracie has been eating and the Emergency Vet told me that Gracie prefers to have her food warmed a bit in the microwave ,so Gracie’s communication skills are good.
I then met with the Internal Medicine Vet, who while I was waiting for what seemed to be forever was examining Gracie. She is also pleased with the progress. She covered the treatment plan for Gracie and she will take more xrays today to help determine the actual progress, but overall she was pleased too. The main thing is to try to not stress Gracie too much at this point so that her breathing isn’t impacted by what they are doing to treat her.
As too the others, Precious and Dolly are still sneezing, Sascha not so much. Brian seemed worse so his Mom took him to our regular Vet this morning to get xrays done on him to make sure all was okay with his lungs, and they were clear. Brian is still sneezing but had a hacking cough last night.
Thanks so much for all of the support, we appreciate you so much. Keep those purrs and prayers coming, we are guardedly hopeful that they are working.
So glad Gracie has improved, and will sure keep her and all kitties in my prayers.
We’re grateful there is some optimism today. So glad Gracie is eating and stronger. Hope all the kitties get well soon, especially Gracie!
We haven’t stopped purring for Gracie, Brian and the others. We hope they all continue to improve. oxoxox
We are still purring here but glad that things are looking up!
That’s a good Gracie update! We continue to send purrs and purrayers to Gracie, Brian, Dolly, Precious and Sascha! Thank you for the update. 🙂
We’re so happy for this encouraging news. We’ll keep up the purrs and prayers for Gracie, Brian, Precious, Dolly and Sascha. Hugs to you all, dear friends.
Oh that is such good news especially Gracie giving you the head bumps. Sounds like she is on the path to recovery. We are so glad. We sure send tons of prayers and purrs to the whole gang there. Take care of yourself Terry.
We appawciate your updates, Mr. Terry! We will keep praying and thinking of Miss Gracie and all the kitties.

After holding our breaths since yesterday, this is an encouraging update. It’s good to hear that Gracie is alert and eating. It sounds like you have some great vets who are really taking good care of her. We’re continuing to purr for Gracie and the rest of your crew…. and for you peeps, too, who must be wiped out by now.
Glad to hear Gracie is improving. Hope that everyone continues to get better–and that you guys get to get some rest. *hugs and pawhugs*

Go Gracie! Maybe the rest of the crew needs some antihistamine pills hidden in pill pockets… I won’t tell if you don’t! It’s hard on lungs when heat comes on even though everybody loves those warm spots.
This is wonderful news! I loved hearing about those head butts ! I’m so glad she has a treatment plan and the doctor is pleased with her progress. I’ve been praying for her.
Mom says she will sit and do some more Reiki for all tonight when she gets home. It is a very calming thing.
We’re glad Gracie’s mad talking skills are in tact! A girl’s gotta get what she needs!
Hi – I’m just now getting caught up on the news. I’m so glad Gracie is feeling better. Also, glad Brian’s lungs were clear. My assistant and I are sending lots of love, support, and good wishes your way!

We are all so overjoyed to get some good news, as we know you are. We are sure those who aren’t sick are exhausted. We all just want little updates now and again.

Dad Terry Just got in and first thing I wanted to check on Gracie. I am so glad things are improving that is really wonderful news. Now you can exhale. Things are going a lot better for everyone, we hope. By that I mean I hope Brian’s Vet trip went well. We know you and Mom are exhausted beyond words. So we hope that this marks the start of great improvement for everyone. FYI just in case you wish to consider it for Gracie’s asthma, you can have a 02 tent at home. We did that for Abby but of… Read more »
I’m just a little teary with the cautiously good news. You know my prayers are coming right at you and the crew!

Those poor little fur babies! I hope once this is over, they stay healthy for like 10 years cos they deserve it and so do you and your wallet. I’m so glad it looks like Gracie is going to make it (knocks on wood). Healing purrz to everybuddy.
Thanks for the update on the gang, we continue to send healing purrs.
Gracie Please Get Well Soon. We are sending lots of prayers and good thoughts that you (and the other sick kitteh’s in your family) get better real quick. We are sending hugs to your pawrents too. Love Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Dad Terry,
Baby steps but positive..poor sweetheart giving head butters breaks your heart doesn’t it.we continue to send love for all the little patients and also for yourself and family..tough times indeed and words don’t help much i know…love Bev and all the gang down under xxxxxx
Good progress on Gracie. We are rev’ing up our purrs and prayers for you all!
Hope the improvement continues! The kitties are still purring!
#68 wow!! You have a lot of cats & dogs and humans pulling for you all!!! You have as too!!! We will purr and pray for your bunch!!
We are so happy she seems to be doing better! Because I am a dog and I would probably stress her out, I will stay away, but send her my get well wishes, and to the other kitties too. It sounds like when we adopted our two current cats…about a week later, our other cat at the time, the new cats and us dogs were so sick it wasn’t funny, but we got over it, so I bet they will too and Gracie will keep fighting!
We are so glad darling Gracie is getting better and good news for Brian too…We hope everyone feels better asap and we are keeping you all in our purrs and prayers, sweet friends…Love and hugs…J, Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
That’s great news!
