OK, please excuse me for not responding individually, we have now been up for 20 hours, done another rope drop (MK preshow) did the whole plane thing and visited Sunny in the kitty hospital.
I wanted to update you all because tomorrow we will hit the ground running with a wound doctor appointment at 9:30AM and then I'll pick up Darcy to help me unpack the scooters, suitcases and all that stuff so that it's not hanging around until I go to pack for our cruise in April. I may not be back on for a couple days, so it's good I have an update or two saved in my arsenal!
Sunny should be fine, well as fine as an eight year old cat with CH and her other conditions can be. We need to accept that she may not have a lot more time with us, but with some hospital fluids and stuff, she will be able to come home and at least have a little more time.
Her glucose is very low so they have her on a drip. She had an upper respiratory thing going on, and they have her on antibiotics for that. She is in an incubator to keep her nice and warm. As soon as I came in the room she recognized me and perked right up. I petted her for a while and as soon as I stopped she sat up like, "what mom? Why are you stopping now?" That's when I took these pictures.
Oh yeah, because she bumps into things when she walks, she only has one tooth left. Her right eye is dinged up because she runs into the furniture when she walks. Even if she seems like a mess, she is our mess and is a little trooper. I will visit her in the kitty hospital every day as she seems to really appreciate my company. Hopefully we can take her home soon. She lost about 25% of her weight over the last couple months so we'll have to work on bulking her up. Lots of rice and chicken and special meals. She will love that!

I'm glad to hear she will be ok! 
. Hope you and Fran take a few days to recover from the shock of coming home!
