Better, But Not All Better

DSC_0970

Dealing with the health issues of this litter has been a long, stressful and challenging road  with many ups, downs,  bumps,  and detours.  I am anxious for Wylla to be completely better, but we're not there yet. We are treating all of her symptoms and trying everything we can to get to the root of her problems.   She's back home with us now, her energy is good, but she's not all better.  We're waiting for some test results, and hoping they will reveal some answers. 

For many reasons, I'm choosing not to share every single detail of this saga - mainly because I just want to focus on getting her better.   


I appreciate all of your concerns, and am thankful to have all of your good, healing thoughts heading in her direction.  I know you all care a tremendous amount about this dear kitten, and that's why you ask for details and more updates, but I hope you can respect my decision not to reveal more about what we're going through.  



We love you dearly and know you're out there with arms linked, giving us one giant hug.  We can feel it and thank you for it. 


xoxo

  2. Nothing more stressful then a feline who won't use their words to tell you what is going on inside their tummy. Best wishes and prayers...

  4. Thank you for letting us know about Wylla's health in your own time and using your own best judgment. I have the greatest respect for your decision not to share all the details with us, and I agree that our energy should be focused on getting this sweet girl better.

    Hugs to you and Wylla (and little monkey Audrey!).

  9. Your judgement is good enough for me, as it has been for dozens and dozens of kittens before this litter. Good luck and much love as you take care of Wylla and her super-active sibling. *hugs*

    Thank you so much, Laurie, for all you do for these precious little ones. Please make sure that through all of this stress, you take care of your own beautiful self, too.

  15. Thanks for the update. It hasn't been a good year for kitten health. Over at the 50K blog a momma lost her whole litter due to illness last month. (Momma is looking for a home and is very sweet.) It can be rough, but you are strong for her. I wish you the best and know that we're here for you.

  18. Laurie, you know what's best for you, your family, the blog, and the kittens. You are so thoughtful to even explain your decision, which you needn't do. You are the boss (well ... you, and the Beanie). :)

    Now little Wylla, you are in the very best hands, and we need you to get well! We're all thinking, wishing, and cyber-hugging on it very hard! We love you and your monkeypants sister! xoxo

  19. I just looked over at my little guy who very nearly didn't make it out of early kittenhood and asked if I could borrow some of his good mojo for Wylla, but he was busy doing a backflip off the cat tree and didn't answer. I took it as a yes anyway. Sending you and Wylla and Audrey lots of hugs and good wishes!

  20. Hope Audrey's sister and playmate will heal quickly and have a stupendous life. Thanks for all you do for these wonderful creatures.

  24. Love, healing thoughts, and much appreciation for all you do, Laurie.

  25. How could such a beautiful creature still be sick? Sending intense, positive energy your way, Wylla!

  26. I hope she improves.
    I can imagine what is wrong with her.
    I am so sorry.

  27. You have my utmost support Laurie. I completely trust your judgement with Wylla's health concerns, because there is no doubt your heart is in the right place. Wylla is a very lucky girl to have so much love and concern from you and all of us that care for her from afar. I will continue to send my very best thoughts for precious little Wylla, and continue to look forward to the day that you can happily give us the "all clear" on her. She is by far the cutest little kitten that I have seen in quite a while, only to be given a run for her money by her sweet little monkey sister Audrey! XOXO

  28. I really appreciate your periodic updates, I love that you are focusing your attention on Wylla and Audrey.

    And now Audrey has Auntie Charlene to help burn off some of her pantalones de loco energy, I am sure that helps a wee bit.

    Continued wishes for Wylla's wellness & healing...and strength & support for all you do for the itty bittys.

  29. Dearest Wylla, please get better soon. XXXXOOOOOOOXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOO

  30. But, if you don't give us every detail, how can crazy cat people like me inundate you with tips and suggestions? (that was a joke :p )
    Whatever you do, and whatever you share, is perfect and right.

    (I would however, appreciate it if you were to give Wylla, Audrey, and Charlene lots of smoochie kisses for me)
