Hi all,
Sorry I've been MIA lately. I just got off the phone with my good friend in NJ. Her husband accidently backed over their cat today in the driveway. Unbelievably, there are no broken bones (perhaps due to the driveway being gravel?) and the vet is keeping the cat overnight on pain meds and will do another x-ray tomorrow. There is a possibility of a crushed diaphragm, if so he will have to be put to sleep since they can't afford the surgery and he probably wouldn't survive anyway. The whole family is very upset, this is a cherished family pet. There are other issues that I can't go into, but this family was already under extreme stress due to the economy and things beyond their control. Please pray that poor Coaster recovers overnight and can go home with his family tomorrow.
