2nd Day of Jumper's Journey
I am waiting to hear an update about Jumper from the vet. Finally, at the end of the day, I call them. I talk to someone in the office and they tell me Jumper isn't eating. The catheter is doing very well. His bladder has emptied and he's more comfortable. A little later in the evening, another person calls to update me. Jumper is resting, but still not eating. They act like it isn't a big deal right now. It is just a waiting game for us, not knowing what is going on, or how he's really doing. I worry he thinks I just dropped him off and left him. We are told how much all this is going to cost. How much are we willing to put into Jumper? If I had unlimited funds, I would say do all you can; just get my baby back home. But, unfortunately, I can't do that, so we had to set a limit we were willing to pay. When it gets to that point, we'll just have to stop--and just hope it's enough to get him better. We are told they will take the catheter out on Wednesday. That is the deciding factor. Can he pee on his own when the catheter comes out? If so, great. But this could come back as soon as the catheter is taken out, a day later, a week later. He may always have issues. Can we afford it? That is what is running through my mind. I love my cat so much; he is so great. But, how much is too much? Then I feel bad for thinking like this. I should do everything I can to make him better even if--in the end-- he doesn't make it. I just don't have unlimited funds. The vet is going to call me on Wednesday and let me know how it goes when they take the catheter out. I have thought about Jumper all day. I really hope he doesn't think I just dropped him off and forgot about him.
