Hello everyone. It's been hard to come back here but I think of everyone all of the time. I have a friend that I've been telling about this site and they're trying to register but the "captcha"...

Wow...

Reading all of this helps so much!

The past few days are just a blur. I finally left the house yesterday and although it did help a little bit, I found myself thinking, this is the first...

I SO appreciate all of your posts and thoughts and tears.

I know what you mean Shana... i have to blur my eyes and not look when it says Sammi is in heaven. When I would see that someone's baby...

I would definitely like to add a photo of Sammi. I took one of her 4 days ago because she looked so cute sitting on her little pillows and blankets in the pet palace we made for her.

Today was one...

Yes... I know everyone knows the pain and that's why this is helping us so much. I'm always the one writing on here and sharing it with Adam. He said "when I can pull myself together I want to write...

Everyone here has been such a blessing and I read every little thing everyone writes, sometimes two, three, four times ++++ over. This is helping, tremendously.

I thank you all SO SO SO much for...

We are grieving so intensely right now. Adam is inconsolable most of the day. I told him to just cry as much as he wants. We both don't know what to do with ourselves. We have Taylor and thank God...

I feel you all with us and I'll explain more later as I do believe it was the macroadenoma. Adam is having a very difficult time as am I but we take turns to support each other.

I do want to talk...

We're devastated.

Sammi is in heaven now and I can't even breathe, talk, stop crying.

I will write something later because it makes me believe in spirits, signs, afterlife as its the only thing...

I've read about the head pressing and it wasn't that.

It was just that her head was next to the couch as she was sinking down. I almost wish it was the head pressing so that would help us make a...

Great advice Marianne!

It's such a hard decision to make, but I don't think we ever want to have her hospitalized again, unless we knew for sure that she'd be coming home and I don't know how you...

So far so good.

We're just going minute by minute.

The breathing episodes are definitely lessening and Sammi is making more conscious decisions on her own. I would say she's still not where she...

I do see what you're saying.

I think we're looking for the exact diagnosis so we can find the exact pill that will cure her. I know that's not reasonable. When I asked the vet the other day "do we...

Can anyone tell me how to differentiate panting from rapid breathing.

As I'm reading I'm thinking that this whole time what we are calling panting, is actually all rapid breathing!

I just...

Thank you so much Marianne,

i think the lack of sleep is catching up with me. I'm happy sammi is resting comfortably. Probably because of the trazadone last night at 2:30 a.m. but i'm i just can't...

And the trazadone seems to be ok with her so far. She just woke up, no panting, no heavy breathing, but let's see what the day brings. She also had diarrhea this morning and actually got herself down...

Thank you so much. We literally cried ourselves to sleep last night and barely slept. I don't think the trazadone is a problem and what you said is exactly what Adam and I were thinking. We know she...

PLEASE, HELP...

Today was a better day as far as any neurological symptoms, which I can explain later, because Adam and I keep going back and forth on what is the best to do for Sammi.

We make...

Here's Sammi's update.

Yesterday was her best day so far and it seems as though she has many more hours of "normal" breathing, and less, of the what I call "breathing issues"

*Significantly...

I’ve been just choked up all day. I’m relieved that Sammi is sleeping right now, but we actually gave her some Trazadone, as recommended.

I’ve now honed in on the details of the breathing...

I have been wanting to get on here all day and I just don't know where to start.

I'm going to try to eat some dinner and then I want to update all of you.

We're really disappointed and don't...

Sammi ate double of what she ate yesterday and even ate from the vet tech, again.

She is now down to 30% oxygen (weaning her slowly from the full strength 60%) and gets up out of her bed and goes...

Just got back a little bit ago.

When we got there they said she's just been standing up but when we left we put her in the bed and hopefully she'll just lay down and get some rest.

Sammi ate a...

This is such torture.

Went to see Sammi and spoke with the doctor IN PERSON which is what we wanted.

What Adam and I witnessed today was typical Sammi after a few minutes of me being there. She...

Here is another email in addition to the last one from Dr. Bruyette.

Here's where I wish I had an oxygen set up just to be able to bring her home until we decide what's best for her. They make an...
