The surgeon suggests taking a biopsy and he feels Sam's asthma is not a
problem for a procedure as short as this one.  He would have done it today
except that Sam had eaten this morning. So we scheduled it for tomorrow.
Then I got home and had second thoughts. I cried and then cried some more.
What if Sam dies? I called DH and I called our regular vet.  Our regular vet
agrees that Sam will be able to take the anesthesia. DH came home and he
wants to go ahead and get the biopsy.  After calling everyone today I went
to bed and Sam and Hobbes laid down beside me (one on each side) and we
rested together and I feel better now.

Sam's been on Clavomax since Monday night, I've given him Albuterol tonight
just before his Flovent and I'll give him more tomorrow morning before his
Flovent.  The vet will give him Albuterol before he begins the procedure.
Tonight I'll take up the food and water and tomorrow I'll take a deep breath
and take Sam to the vet and worry until I hear something.

On the positive side, I should be able to bring Sam home tomorrow night and
I'll have the weekend to take care of him.  Any purrs that could be directed
Sam's way tomorrow would be appreciated and I'll let you know as soon as I
hear how he's doing.

Julie and Sam
