Is in hospital this early morning. The XRay has shown a foreign object, a sewing needle which she apparently swallowed here in the hotel room. When the doctor called and asked if we wanted to proceed with the surgery he qouted an additional $500.00 fee for bringing in the surgeon on an emergent basis at two in the morning. He then called back and said the surgeon felt it was not an emergency (without seeing the XRay or doing a physical exam on the cat) and declined to drive in the rain to do the operation. Now, Mark and I, must wait with the knowledge that her chances at recovery decline as the surgeon slumbers without conscience in her bed somewhere in New Jersey. I have only one solution and that is to turn the entire matter over to Jesus and ask that he intercede and save this dear little animal, with her bright and friendly soul, and care for her when the world cannot be bothered. And, so Lord, I turn it over to you to keep her safe, either with us or with you. Keep her free of fear, let no one be unkind and let gentleness and love waash over her tiny fragile body as she rests in you her Creator. Phillip, my angel, be with her and guard her against harm on my behalf.
