Long Week

The little grey tabby cat who wandered into our lives on Saturday wandered back out Sunday evening, when the boy from across the street came inquiring about him. It turns out his name is Cecil. I gave the kid a brief talk about the hazards of being an outdoor cat on an island that's also home to eagles. We'll miss him, but he's back with his family now and at least he was safe indoors when the cloudburst hit on Saturday. And he's not far away if I want to visit.

Yesterday we got a call from Colleen's nephrologist, who had apparently just gotten through reviewing the results of the lab work she'd had done on Friday, telling her to get to an ER as soon as possible. Eeeep? So she's on antibiotics again, and this evening she was transferred to Providence Hospital in Everett, which is where said nephrologist practices. We probably won't know anything more until late tomorrow, but she's not in any immediate danger.

Longer term, who knows?

It's been a long week the last three days.

Best wishes to Colleen! It was a great pleasure seeing her again in May after so many years.

Good luck with Colleen, and congratulations on finding the cat's home.

Yeah. That sounds like a long week, indeed.

Would Colleen like a card? Would mailing a postcard to her be feasible?

*hugs*

Glad kitty has a home, and hopefully one that will be more inclined to keep kitty inside now!

Good luck with the antibiotic stuff! Hopefully a longer course will knock out whatever's causing the lab issues.
