Gracie isn’t getting any better. She is sleeping the sleep of the sick and exhausted, and I am trying to hold on and not bring her into the emergency vet for “observation” overnight (at a cost of $500-600). Sorry, I just can’t afford it, don’t think it’s going to do much for her, and don’t believe it’s the right step, anyway. She can leap on the sofa without any trouble, and yeah, she’s thrown up twice more, but she still purrs when I pet her and can walk around just fine.
So we’re going to tough it out tonight and bring her to the regular vet tomorrow. The X-Ray showed a possible blockage in her stomach. I’ll see what the other vet has to say tomorrow morning.
Poor Gracie. She isn’t even sleeping on her new tissue paper that I brought specially from Max and Rebecca’s party.
I’m finding it almost impossible to pay attention to anything but worrying about Gracie. Bedtime for me soon, too. I was up every few hours last night with a sick cat. Not intentionally—I’m a very light sleeper. Every time I heard her get sick, I’d wake up, go downstairs, check on her, clean up, and go back to bed.
Tired. We’re both tired.
Fervent prayers for Gracie’s complete recovery. Refua shlema.
yea, Meryl, me too.
I hope Gracie’ll be okay.
Hope that Gracie’s ailment is something minor and easily corrected or controlled.
And take care of yourself, too.

I’m so sorry to hear that Gracie is sick. May she get better and be demanding tunafish soon.
A refua sheleimah – speedy recovery – to Gracie. I’ll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
