@catcastletails Thank you for the update! I’ve been praying for Nour and Tammy both and I know they’re in Gods hands.

‼️ Tammy update 18 May ‼️ Nour has been provide a report with a lot of jargon so ai has helped once again.m In addition to the below, Nour has not been able to see her since yesterday as Tammy has a blood clot in her leg that can break easily and travel to her lungs. If anyone touch her improperly, it may risk breaking the blood clot. Her situation remain critical In plain language: This report says the patient went through a very serious, potentially fatal medical crisis. At some point, she had a major heart-related emergency, and during that event her body wasn’t getting enough oxygen. That means her organs and tissues were essentially being “starved” of oxygen for a period of time. Because of this, her body chemistry became dangerously unbalanced. The report calls this “mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis,” which basically means too much acid built up in her body because her lungs and body systems weren’t able to clear it properly. This is a sign the body was under extreme stress and not functioning normally. The worst period was in the early morning, right after this emergency happened. That was when her condition was most critical and life-threatening. After that, doctors kept her on constant intensive care treatment (close monitoring, medications, breathing/circulatory support, and other ICU-level interventions). The good news in the report is that the repeated blood tests over the next 24 hours show gradual improvement: Her oxygen levels and body chemistry were starting to move closer to normal. Her body was responding to treatment. She was stabilizing, even though she was still in serious condition. So the overall message is: She was in real danger after a severe cardiac event, but over that 24-hour period the medical team managed to pull her from the worst point. @catswithnohope

@catcastletails @jennyah46 Amen 🙏

@jennyah46 She remains critically ill. The machines are keeping her alive at present. Am waiting for a more detailed update from Nour and will share as soon as I know more but whilst her heart continues to beat, we will keep hoping for a miracle. It’s not over till the last breath.

‼️Tammy update ‼️ Tanmy remains the same but the the infection (sepsis) is improving today but still have organ failure. Nour is waiting to speak to the doctor to get further insight into the situation and I will update as soon as I know more.

@catcastletails @NicolaG01 @Biscuit_Meow @catswithnohope I think that there are some places, some communities, that just can’t be abandoned because of something passing through. Just like Bernoulli here, he wouldn’t abandon his peaceful spot unless someone picks him up. Or the surrounding sound is on and we’re watching Dr. Who 🤣❤️❤️

I have found some incredible people in this community. I tried bluesky but didn’t enjoy it. Here is where I would read the updates on Minnie. Where @Biscuit_Meow welcomed Minnie with a special kitty loaf monday. Where I saw the incredible work of @catswithnohope. Where Henry found a surrogate mum in @MakarMargaret and where so so many of you helped pay for Henry’s emergency CT scan, Meggy’s life prolonging surgery (that gave us 3 more months with her) and Dayan’s emergency dental surgery. I have found such love, such friendship and virtual shoulders to cry on in loss. From @Hedgewatchers dedicating pawtrols to those we lost and everything in between.

It’s Dayan’s and Leia’s 1st gotcha day!! #rescuecat #adoptdontshop #gotchaday

@catcastletails Thank you for the update! Having a medical background and reading/seeing what you’ve posted here, well, it’s a testament to how strong Tammy is!! I really feel like God is working here ❤️

‼️ Tammy medical update ‼️ As with all updates, Nour has given me permission to share. He knows there are so many people out there rooting for this incredible woman. Once again, I used ai to make a bit more sense of the medical jargon. Tammy has a breathing tube in place and doctors checked it with a small camera to make sure it was positioned correctly. They found that the breathing tube had gone a little too far into the right lung airway, so they pulled it back slightly and placed it in the correct position. They checked the main windpipe, and it looked normal. They looked inside the right lung airways and found only a small amount of mucus, which they cleaned out. After cleaning, the airways looked open and clear. They then checked the left lung airways and found a larger amount of thick mucus/secretions blocking parts of the airway. They took a sample of the mucus to test for possible infection (culture test). They washed and suctioned the mucus out until the left lung airways were cleared and open again. The whole procedure was completed safely, with no complications. What this means overall The breathing tube is now in the right place, and both lungs’ airways were checked and cleaned. The left side had significant mucus buildup, which was removed, and a sample was sent to the lab to check if there is an infection. The procedure went smoothly without any problems. Tammy remains critically and life threateningly ill.

@catcastletails @PicklesMil @tiggy_deni35304 Thank you! Fortunately my Bernoulli is ok, it was a skin wound that had gotten infected. It was in a place that made me think urinary problems instead, so there was a panic. But he gets to come home in a little bit

@catcastletails @PicklesMil @tiggy_deni35304 I’ve been struggling with this as well ❤️ The past few years I haven’t been as active on here as I was but I always read every post Tammy made. Had to take one of mine to the vet this morning (unplanned) and thought of everytime Tammy did that with strays 😿

‼️ Tammy update ‼️ Long post warning. Nour has shared a LOT of medical information with me and I have used chat GPT to break it down in layman terms. Posting all this with his permission. In plain language: she is extremely critically ill, and several of her organs are under severe stress at the same time. The test results suggest the ICU team is dealing with kidney failure, worsening blood chemistry, stress on the liver, severe infection, and seizure activity in the brain. Here’s what each part means more simply: 1. Her kidneys are struggling more today The kidneys normally filter waste out of the blood. Her numbers (creatinine, urea, eGFR) suggest they are filtering very poorly right now, and slightly worse than yesterday. Creatinine and urea going up = waste products are building up in her blood instead of being removed eGFR of 10 = kidney function is extremely low (normal is usually much higher) Why this matters: When kidneys fail, harmful waste and minerals build up, which can affect the heart, brain, lungs, and blood chemistry. ⸻ 2. Her blood is becoming dangerously acidic again Normal blood has to stay in a very narrow balance. Her pH of 7.166 means her blood is too acidic, and it worsened compared to yesterday. This usually happens when the body is under extreme stress from things like: severe infection (sepsis) poor oxygen delivery failing kidneys low blood pressure / poor circulation Why this matters: If blood becomes too acidic, cells stop working properly, and the heart and other organs struggle. ⸻ 3. Her potassium is elevated Potassium helps control the heart’s electrical rhythm. Her level is mildly high right now (5.44). This often happens when kidneys aren’t clearing potassium properly. Why this matters: If potassium keeps rising, it can trigger dangerous abnormal heart rhythms, which is why ICU teams monitor it closely. ⸻ 4. Her liver is under shock/stress (“shock liver”) AST and ALT are liver injury markers. Her AST is very high, which often means the liver temporarily isn’t getting enough blood flow or oxygen. This commonly happens in ICU patients when: blood pressure has dropped severe infection causes poor circulation the body is in shock Why this matters: It means her body has recently been under major circulatory stress. Sometimes this improves if circulation stabilizes. ⸻ 5. Her brain is not functioning normally right now The EEG says the whole brain is slowed down (“diffuse cerebral dysfunction”). This often happens in severe ICU illness because of: sepsis organ failure low oxygen heavy sedation metabolic imbalance (like the acidity/kidney problems) This means her brain is under stress, but by itself it does not always mean permanent damage. ⸻ 6. The most serious brain finding: hidden continuous seizures This is what “non-convulsive status epilepticus” means. Her brain is having continuous seizure activity, but because she is sedated, there may be no visible shaking or twitching. The EEG is the only way doctors can see it. Why this matters: This is a medical emergency because prolonged seizure activity can exhaust and injure brain tissue. That’s why they’re likely adjusting: anti-seizure medication sedation medications (to suppress the seizure activity) This is the ICU trying to “quiet” the brain and let it rest. ⸻ 7. The infection is very hard to treat The bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii infection) is known for being highly resistant to antibiotics. That means doctors have fewer treatment options and often must use very strong last-line antibiotics like Colistin. Why this matters: This kind of infection can be extremely difficult to clear, especially when someone is already critically ill. ⸻ Putting it all together This report is essentially saying: Her body is in a severe whole-body crisis. The infection is overwhelming her system, and it is affecting: kidneys blood chemistry heart rhythm risk liver brain electrical activity.

Please, whatever you believe in, whether it’s God, karma, or @IAMLILBUB traveling in space, send your thoughts/vibes/prayers of healing towards Tammy at @catswithnohope and for her husband and the rescues…

I love my cats and would do anything for them. Tammy has actually gone to the ends of the earth to care for cats, and has taken in the ones that just couldn’t or wouldn’t make it out there on their own.. her husband is by her side, but her rescues are at home worried..

If you can spare a moment right now to say a quick prayer, please pray for the kindest soul and cat caregiver on this planet @catswithnohope Tammy needs a miracle right now. She needs God to come in and do something. youtu.be/-2KXdLwUpMo?si…

The rescues miss their mother (Tammy). We are all waiting and praying. I just came home to feed them and get some sleep, and I will go again to the hospital in a few hours. paypal.me/catswithnohope

@fairiehaze Bean Burrito lol

you have to name him the last thing you ate

So very sad to hear 😿 Please say a prayer for Tammy and her husband who is with her.

@catswithnohope Tammy has made such an impact on all of us here, but not nearly as big an impact as she has made on the rescues! I don’t even remember how I found her account on here years ago, but I’ve always followed and supported when I’ve been able to. My prayers are with her and you!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone here for the prayers and support for Tammy. Even though she is still sedated, I am sitting by her side and telling her about every single one of your messages. I’m letting her know how much she is loved and how many people are waiting for her to come back to us. Your energy is definitely reaching her. ❤️🙏 Eloise, Samson, and Angel are sending their love and kisses to all of you for looking out for their mom.

@catswithnohope Sent! We all know she would do the same to help any cat anywhere in the world.

Because of this crisis, we couldn't secure the monthly supplies on May 1st. This is what Tammy would want, and I am doing it for her. I’m asking her Twitter family to step up for her while she can’t. paypal.me/catswithnohope

@catswithnohope Prayers for you and Tammy both!!

Today’s update: Tammy remains in the ICU, but her condition has become much more critical. She is now fighting active Sepsis and a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) on top of her kidney failure. She is unstable and remains incapacitated

Tomorrow is the 1st—the day Tammy always secures supplies. Between her rescues and her own care (which isn't covered here due to her kidney history), she is facing a real financial crisis. To her Twitter family: if you can help keep her mission standing while she fights to recover, please use her link: paypal.me/catswithnohope
