Connections...

I'm sure many moms can relate to being in a room full of loud kids, yet the only one they hear is there own. Being one place, your child being another, and perhaps you "hear" them, and moments later the phone rings! I don't know if dads are connected that way...perhaps some are, but I think it's more a "mom thing."

However, sitting here on the couch while Travis studies his spelling he said "I just heard Jackson scream." Jackson is our sweet kitty that we took to the vet today. We had to leave him there. Tomorrow the vet will call with lab results. He doesn't know what is wrong with him, but he's taken a guess at it being hemobartonella. It's when the body starts destroying red blood cells. As such, Jackson is jaundiced and anemic. Or maybe it's something else. We'll know tomorrow. In the meantime, we're praying. Hopefully if Jackson did 'scream' it was because someone had come to care for him and he was just talking to them. Hopefully he can be remedied with something simple. Hopefully he won't need a transfusion - many risks associated with that. Hopefully we'll be able to bring him home alive. He's only 10 months old, so hopefully he has "youth" on his side.

Travis loves that kitty so, so much. I can't bear the thought of my child having to lose his first pet. I don't want to lose and important family member. It really is nice having a cat in the house...hoping he'll be home soon.
