Brady stopped eating and wasn't getting any better so, back to the vet... AGAIN. It has been determined that, on top of everything else, Brady now has pneumonia too. Add yet another medication, an antibiotic. Poor guy is now on 4 different meds, twice per day. :( We're still keeping him warm and doing what we can to get through this. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and encouragement!
 I've had the heat lamp going non-stop, along with the humidifier, and been giving medications as instructed... I'm not seeing an improvement. Brady is still coughing/sneezing and has a runny nose and eyes too. He is now having difficulty with his breathing and is becoming more lethargic again. He is still eating and drinking, which is great, but I haven't heard a purr in days... If you know my Brady this is not a good sign! My sweet little guy purrs all the time, even at the vet's office! I'm wiping him with warm wash clothes because I don't have the heart or guts to put him in the bathtub right now. We're snuggling as much as possible too, but it's tearing me apart to see him like this. I wish he could tell me how to fix this, how to help him. I feel so helpless. Here I have this amazing creature that has absolutely changed my life and touched my soul so deeply and I can't take this sickness from him... HE NEEDS ME AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP HIM! Are you a pet psychic or do you know one that would help? Anything? I do not want my baby boy suffering but I can't give up on him until he needs me to... :(
GREAT NEWS!!! Brady actually got up and ate his breakfast this morning! First time in almost a week! He looks soo much better too! Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! Love to you all & a very Merry Christmas!! ♥
 On Tuesday, December 20th, after not eating anything for dinner or breakfast, Brady began to throw up and I rushed him to the vet when I saw blood. Brady had chest radio-graphs done, blood tests ran and an IV to help with his dehydration. Brady's blood work looked okay, no damage to major organs from his meds, but his radiology report showed fluid on his lungs. Our doctor added 2 more medications to the mix.. One to get him eating again, the other to help relieve some of the pressure from the lung fluid. It took a couple of days, but Brady finally came back around to eating and started to feel better. It was our Christmas miracle! We were able to spend our holiday together and I couldn't have asked for a better gift! I only wish it had lasted. Christmas day, Brady started sneezing/coughing a lot. It's very hard to tell the difference between a kitty's sneeze and cough but neither should be taken lightly, especially with a heart patient. The next day, we're back to the vet's office and are instructed to double his lasix medication and keep him warm. If there is no improvement, return on Thursday. :/ My poor baby, he is so sweet and I hate seeing him go through this. I had to ask the doctor the inevitable question.... Am I doing this for me, or am I still doing this for Brady, and, when it comes time, will you tell me and help me through it? His reply made me feel a little better, right now, we're still doing this for Brady. He's not in any pain and we should still try to save him. That's all I needed to hear. I'll do whatever it takes as long as my baby is strong enough and not in any pain. No matter what I have to do, or what I have to sell, I'm doing it all for the love of Brady. https://www.facebook.com/ForBrady
