We brought Matrix back from the vet today..he made it through the night which is a good sign but he is not out of the woods yet. Vet said to watch him he wouldnt eat for them so they are hopin that by being home in his own environment that it might encourage him. We have had him home for six hours and he finally ate a small bit and drank on his own just a lil bit ago. So we are hopin that is a good sign and he will hopefully pass the rest of the string. Family has decided that we just cant afford the cost of the surgery.. so keep kitty prayers for Matrix please. I will continue to update everyone until we are hopefully out of the woods and Matrix is pronounced all better.
