Cesar, my boy with lymphoma, spent last night at the emergency vet. This morning when they were helping me get him in the car to take to my vet, he had a seizure. He's now at my vet receiving fluids and antibiotics. He's had an infection that he just can't get rid of. So prayers and good vibes once again are much appreciated. If the seizure was from the spread of the cancer, we all know how that will end. But if it was from fever or something else treatable, I haven't given up hope that he'll pull through just one more time and we can have some more time together. He was very bad last weekend and wasn't expected to live the weekend, then he turned around and had 3 pretty good days, surprising the vet, and then went downhill again. Of course I'm trying to figure out what I've done wrong. What if I'd caught the infection sooner? What if I'd upped his vitamins? Did I give him too many vitamins and they interfered with the chemo? And on and on.
As soon as my sister picks my nephew up from my house, I'm going back to check on him. (Note to anyone who works from home--don't let your relatives with kids know or you'll be asked to babysit/pick up from school 3 days a week.) Not that I don't love my nephew, but the stress of Cesar this week on top of trying to baby sit, talk to the vet with a 10 year old interrupting every other second, and still trying to get work done is getting to me. *end vent*
My biggest fear is he will die when I'm not there.
