Cosmo's still in the hospital, we've been going to see him every day. On Sunday they put in a esophageal tube because he wasn't eating. I got concerned when the vet first mentioned that she wanted to do this, but she explained it wouldn't prevent him from eating solid food and it would make it easier for us to give him his meds. She also said I'd be able to use it to give him fluids. He looked awful yesterday when we went to see him. They had to move him back into ICU overnight because his temperature was so low. They warmed him up and changed his fluids and he looked much better today. After dicussing what we can expect from his treatments with his doctor, we've decided to bring him home on Thursday. By then it will be obvious that we've done everything that we could for him. If he's stablized, we will do everything we need to for him to keep him around for as long as we can. If he isn't, we'll do what we can to keep him comfortable for one last weekend at home.
