please pray for Turbo

• It's crazy how a person's life can turn upside down in an instant. As of right now, my cat Turbo is extremely ill. It started yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) when I noticed he was throwing up and lethargic. I just thought he ate something that didn't agree with him, and that he'd feel better by this morning. Well later on in the evening Cathy was over, and she noticed that when Turby got up to move, his legs wouldn't move. He was paralyzed. That's when she woke me up and we took him to the emergency vet. The prognosis is not good at all. Turbo has a heart murmur, and he threw a blood clot to his spine. So he can't walk anymore. They are doing the best they can, he's on oxygen, an IV, the whole shabang. Later today they're going to do one of those electrocardiogram things and hopefully start him on some heparin to thin out his blood, hopefully get rid of the clot. The doctor told me honestly that most cats don't pull through. I don't care at this point, I'm not giving up on Turbo yet. He's only 3 1/2 years old. I also had no fathom that he had a heart defect, he goes to the vet for regular checkups and no one told me a thing. Right now I'm in shock, and I feel like crap. Turbo is more important to me than whether or not I feel shitty. So please people, pray for Turbo.
  
• I'm still going on with my routine, obviously. Since I'm typing this from work. Gotta go to Walmart and buy groceries in the morning and start some laundry. Since I've been through enough crises with people in hospitals and other semi-morbid things, I've learned its best to stay busy and go on with your normal routine. This keeps the mind off of things and helps you not become some comatose crying freak.
  
• Oh yes, still don't have my cable/internet at the new place yet. I have to get written permission from my roomie's dad (who we're renting from) so that they can drill a hole in his wall and run the wire through the house. Oh the joy. So at least another week or so before I get my beloved Food Network back.
• Well thanks everyone for the concern and prayers so far, and please keep praying for Turbo. I love him so much, he's my best friend.
