my poor kitty

Yesterday I took Silver to his follow up appt. I was so nervous and was worried they would tell me that he would still need surgery. he's been on antibiotics the whole time and he's going to remain on them for a while. He still has the stone in his bladder and it's a big one. He's back to being himself again but they told me it doesn't matter and he needs to get the stone out. it's much to big for him to pass so he will need to have it removed surgically. They scheduled to have him brought in wednesday morning and he will remain in ICU over night and thru the next day. they said if no complications happen, he may go home after. The doc will call me after the surgery is finished to let me know how he did. and then the following day she will call me if he is ready to go home. the surgey is estimated to be anywhere from $1,500-2,000, and i don't have insurance so it will go out of pocket. but that's beside the point. he has had a catheter before for being blocked back in 07 and was hospitalized for 2-3 days. Silver was so traumatized from that. poor guy. the doc said that this shouldn't be as bad for him, but still, nobody likes surgery! ploease pray for my kitty that he does ok and he heals fast! Thanks everyone and God bless...
