My Beloved Noah Options

[moon_beam]

At 1:52 a.m. I received a call from Noah's overnight physician from the ER hospital. A "quick" ultrasound was done on Noah at some point after I left visiting him, and fluid was found in his abdomen. A sample of the fluid was taken which showed definite bacteria - - which means something in my precious Noah's abdomen was perforated or leaking. This is always considered a surgical emergency, which I approved.

At 2:20 a.m. the surgeon called me to let me know that there was nothing she could do for my precious Noah. His stomach had ruptured from multiple tumors and there was nothing but dead tissue in place of his stomach. The only thing that could be done for him was to mercifully transition him from this earthly realm. She agreed that she could keep Noah comfortable under anesthesia until I arrived to be with him when the drugs were administered. I arrived at the hospital around 3:20 a.m., and around 3:30 a.m. Noah joined his beautiful sibling baby sister Abbygayle and adopted big kitty brother Eli in heaven's perfect garden.

Needless to say my heart is aching right now and the tears are flowing, but there are so many things I am thankful for - - one of them having had the honor and privilege of being his human caregiver all the 14 years of his sweet physical life. I will get a pawprint and his ashes back sometime within the next week.

I want to thank each of you for your comforting support during this time of great sorrow,

Peace and blessings,

Hi, Kathy, thank you so much for your most thoughtful and comforting support. I'm not sure I can get a good enough picture of the finished plaques to share, but I'll try. I recently tried to get a picture of something my sister asked for but that turned into a royal disaster. I'm not very good with "technology" things, and that includes using digital - - or any other form - - cameras. But again, I will try and will let you know how I do.

The days and nights are now so quiet without the physical presence of my beloved Noah with me, but at least I'm able to function now without being overwhelmed with the consuming grief. This doesn't stop the deep sorrow in my heart - - it only helps me do the things that need to be done and stay focused on doing them a bit better. For this I am thankful, particularly when it comes to keeping track of my medication schedule.

Thank you again, Kathy, for all your support and encouragement. This truly means a lot to me. I hope today is treating you and your precious Cubby kindly.

Peace and blessings,

Moon_beam,

I am thankful that you are able to function now without being overwhelmed. That is how it is for me too now---but I'd have to say easier than what you are going through, thanks to Cubby.

Do you have Thanksgiving plans?

Will check back here often for any updates from you!
