The universe is kind of calling my bluff on this NOLA thing, huh?
I hope that's the upshot. I'm sorry, smonster. May today's bad news bring tomorrow's good things.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, thank you for the thoughts. I can't believe I'm doing nothing wrong, but thank you.
Victor's tests came back yesterday. The vet is 70-80% sure it's FIP. If Victor were an only cat, she'd probably send him home with antibiotics and an appetite stimulant. But we don't want to expose the cats any more than they already have been.
There is one bright spot. His lungs are clearing up. So apparently there was pneumonia on top of whatever else is going on. I think he's walking a little more steadily, which may be rehydration or may be improvement in his neurological system. At any rate, he enjoyed our visit last night. I suspect at least in part because we brought one of his favorite moist foods (Friskies Elegant Medley with greens).
We're going to try exploratory surgery tomorrow. If it isn't FIP, we hope to figure out what's going on. The downside is, if it's FIP, the surgery will cause him to deteriorate more quickly. But realistically, that means we put him to sleep this weekend instead of next weekend.

“Not dead yet!”
Aw, smonster, on the one hand, that sucks, on the other, I do think the Universe is trying to tell you something, doll.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You brave girl!
I suspect you are correct.

Not that I know of, Sox. I'm not even sure if this is his regular band, or just people he jams with regularly.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, shit, smonster. I'm so sorry. How scary, and how frustrating, after you've poured so much of yourself into this job.
And, like everyone else, I vote NOLA.
