Thank you, thank you, thank you to each of you who emailed me, called me or contacted me about Sebastian. I appreciate the support and love that you shared with me. Many of you have been through similar experiences and understand the pain of watching a pet suffer. Sebastian and I are both fortunate to be surrounded by such compassionate friends.
You're prayers and support are invaluable. Sebastian seems to be doing better. He's certainly doesn't seem to be getting any worse. He's been getting around much better and I haven't seen him rise with the arched back nearly as much.
I rescheduled his veterinary appointment for Friday. After discussing it with the clinic, I believe he can wait until then. They gave me some symptoms to check for and since he wasn't experiencing any of them, they said it would probably be fine to wait until Friday. (Of course, the caveat is that if he gets worse, we'll show up at the door with no appointment!) The purpose of rescheduling was so David could go with me. If I took Sebbie on Tuesday, as I originally planned, I was terrified I would get bad news and be too upset to drive back home. Now, we can go together and lean on one another for support. Hopefully, Sebastian just had a flare up of some sort and can be completely healed. I'm praying for healing.
After my last post about Sebastian, I jumped in the shower before going to bed. While in the shower, I prayed and prayed about Sebastian. It's amazing--this peace just came over me. I felt like God reminded me that Sebastian is still alive and I need to stop acting like he's not. Instead of dwelling on the inevitable, I need to enjoy every moment. I'm trying to maintain that attitude.
I'll make a post about what we find out Friday. Writing tends to be therapeutic for me. Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts and offer your wisdom.
