Sunny is still in the hospital. We’re told his temperature has returned to normal and has stayed that way all day. We’re also told he hasn’t vomited since early Monday morning. This is a huge step for Sunny, but we still have very far to go. We really need to get him to eat. Sunny hasn’t done so since Thursday night, and by not eating, we’re possibly getting ourselves into more issues. We’re hopeful, though, with these baby steps today (no fever, not throwing up), he’ll make the progression into eating. Sunny eating would be absolutely huge.

It’s been a rough few days for everyone. Rebecca and I took off work today to try to gain some much needed strength. For the most part, it helped, but we’re still very concerned for our Sunny. I cannot even imagine what’s going through Sunny’s mind through all of this. They hospital says he’s not in too much pain, but more like a discomfort. But to be away from home, away from your parents, and your crazy brother and sister? That must be very scary for him. I know he’s in great hands right now, but we still want to try to go visit him either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Macky has missed his brother big time. I don’t want to say he’s depressed, but he definitely looks for his brother from time to time. He’ll just walk around the place meowing over and over again. Macky knows his brother’s missing; he knows there’s something wrong. Macky slept with me on the couch today, as in actually fell asleep in my lap. This is something he NEVER does. It made me really happy, almost like he was comforting me. He was purring up a storm, too, so I’m sure he felt comfort as well. I cannot wait to reunite the both of them; they’re going to be so incredibly happy.

Thanks for everyone’s concern these last few days — all of your thoughts and prayers do mean a lot to us. Comments are formally open on Sunny’s site, mackymowiesunny.com, for those interested.

MSNBC is displaying a collection of photos titled, Travels with Fido and Fluffy.  The photographers document their trips with pictures of their pets. 

Sunny, our big fluffy orange cat, had another episode last night where he appeared to have some form of convulsions.  He was shaking vigorously, unable to grip the floor with his claws, and breathing quite heavily.  I picked him up off the floor, put him on our bed, and his breathing calmed down.  At one point he shoved his head into our pillows (which was wicked cute).  As he emerged from the pillows, we began to rub his body for support and love.  He shortly thereafter began to breathe easily and we saw his fluffy tail move from side to side.

Despite Macky having serious ADD, he takes the best pictures out of all three cats.  You would think he’d run out of the picture before you could actually take the picture.
