[昔日]阿丹&馬格麗特&佩姬-8，Farewell Friday, my dearest sisters-8

星期五的昔日系列，是在說八到十年前阿丹出生到兩三歲的故事。如果您(是最近才來認識阿丹的新朋友)有興趣知道阿丹以前的事情，可以看這邊。

Farewell Friday series, is saying when Adan was born to his 2~3 years old stories. For the guests first time here, if you are interesting in Adan's pass stories, you may click here.

(1999年11月~2000年7月)自從馬格麗特也離開後，阿丹大約一個月後開始生病，病因很難說，醫師也沒有講得很清楚，先說消化道有問題，又說照X-光，阿丹的心臟比他同年紀和骨架的貓咪要小一點，所以不能太劇烈運動，要不然心臟會比較難負荷，所以阿丹飛快衝刺的時候不能太久要安撫他的暴衝情緒。醫師還有看他的肚子疑似有積水，也有判斷過是腹膜炎，總之阿丹一病不起，一病就是病了超過半年。我常常上課中間有空堂時就回家，當時我同學的爸爸也有幫忙載阿丹去醫院看病，真的很感激。

(1999 Nov~2000 July)After Margaret leaved, about 1 month later, Adan started to sick, still not sure about the cause of illness now. First the vet said Adan's alimentary canal has some problem. And doing X-ray, the vet said Adan's heart is smaller than the other same size cats, so it is better not let Adan doing too crazy exercise. When Adan running for too long time, must comfort his emotion to calm, or his heart can't bear it. And also vet saw his tummy "suspected" had some water, "probably" FIP(vet was not sure). Anyway, since his sisters all gone, Adan continued sick over 6 months!!!!! When I have sometime between class and class, I must went home staying with Adan, during that time, even my classmate's father help me drive Adan to the vet. I still very thankful to my classmate and her father now.

阿丹也是那種很不配合吃藥的小孩，很難餵。然後那個醫師又有警告各種病症的可能性，讓我們一直很焦急的要餵阿丹藥，可是他都一直很抵抗不吃，然後平時又很虛弱(虛弱到很難走路和跳)。帶阿丹去看病，可以說是讓我和妹妹的零用錢還有存款都花光光了。每天都在擔心害怕還有省吃簡用的無奈中過日子。

因為姊姊工作唸書的關係非常忙碌有時候出國也不常在家，有一天晚上，我硬著頭皮先去跟我爸預支零用錢。因為又要帶阿丹去看病，我們已經有欠醫師一點錢。由於阿丹已經是繼母最後的眼中釘，於是爸爸和繼母就反對給我錢去給阿丹看病，叫我把阿丹送到獸醫院那邊就不要帶回來就好了，要不然就放到路邊去，反正生病都這麼重了等等。我聽了又生氣又傷心，阿丹都已經生病持續半年了，為什麼還要把他給遺棄？為什麼都沒有看見我們這麼努力的想要把他給治好？我一邊哭一邊跟爸爸乞求拜託請爸爸一定要幫忙，可是爸爸怎麼說就跟繼母一搭一唱，怎樣就是不答應。後來妹妹也到爸爸這邊一起幫忙，面對兩個哭個不停的女兒爸爸還是不答應，繼母甚至說出很惡毒的話，說我們當初媽媽過世時，肯定沒有現在這樣為了一隻小小的貓哭得這麼傷心。我想我同學的爸爸跟阿丹沒見過面都肯幫忙，就算爸爸和繼母不幫忙也不應該這麼惡毒。

Adan is also kind of cat that didn't cooperate eating medicine. Very very hard to feed him medicine. The VET also warm us about FIP and heart illness...etc any kind of symptoms and results, to let us "prepare". Adan was very very weak, too weak to walk and jump. Bring Adan to VET too many times, caused my money and saving money all gone, in that time I was only a student, so I really don't have so much money afford Adan's medical bill. Pamilla for working and study sometimes need to go to the other country, so Toshie and I didn't ask her for help first. We were keeping afraid using Adan and saving eat more support Adan's medical.

One night, I nerved myself going to Father's room to ask him draw my pocket money in advance 1 month for Adan's medical bill. Because we have running up vet a little money. And because Adan is stepmom's last eyesore. Dad and stepmom command me bring Adan to the vet and talk to the vet that we don't want to keep Adan anymore! Or they even suggest me just abandon Adan next to the road. They think Adan is keeping sick more than a half year, they think Adan won't recover. How couldn't they see our hard work for Adan? I was crying and crying to beg Daddy just save Adan, and Toshie also attended begging dad to save Adan. But Father refuse to help. He thinks shouldn't use pocket money to do this. Stepmom even spoke very bad words, she said when our mommy went to the rainbow brige, Toshie and I mustn't cry so hard like we cry for Adan. I was very very very angry and sad, even my classmate's dad could help, how couldn't my dad but even let my stepmom say this evil words...

我們兩個小朋友回到樓下到我們房間，抱著阿丹抱頭痛哭好幾個小時，剛好等到大姊回來了。大姊知道原因了先跟我們講以後別再找她們幫忙就去爸爸房間，於是三個姊妹一起到爸爸還有繼母前面，正式掀起了家庭革命，大姊彷彿女戰神，正式跟爸爸宣告：「以後這隻貓咪，不用爸爸費心，因為我才剛剛開始工作兩個妹妹比較不會打擾我，但是以後阿丹的醫藥費用不夠的我就來出。你也不准講或是逼我們要把阿丹送走。」爸爸和繼母非常震驚，雖然嘴巴說不用替阿丹出醫藥費的錢就好，可是內心應該震驚很大。自己的女兒三個人竟然全部一起抵抗而且大聲怒吼，這場家庭革命雖然保住阿丹了，以後常常有機會跟繼母相處時，繼母總會說我們女兒很不孝順，竟然爸爸不如一隻貓。說話之難聽等點點滴滴，就不多說了(我的大姊超帥的啊~!)。

So, Toshie and I went back to our room, hug very sick Adan crying for hours and hours. And, Pamilla came back from work and understood the whole situation. After Pamilla ask me not to beg my dad for help. Then, we three back to my Dad's house. Pamilla just like a Mars!! Formally made a annoucement to Dad and stepmom: " Since now, Adan's medical bill, when michico and Toshie can't afford, I pay. Michico and Toshie maybe don't wanna bother me because I just started to work, but I can afford our cat's bill. Next time when they have problems, they find me, You have no right to command us to sent Adan away or ask us to abandon Adan!!!" (Pamilla was so chic~! "

Dad and stepmom were shocking, especially Dad. His own 3 daughters all against him and all speak for Adan. This was our family the first revolution. Although we keep Adan, but during time to time, stepmom often said to me acidly " in your heart, a cat is not important than father." I just ignore her saying. And I save her evil words, I won't type here to pollute Adan's blog.

藥藥很難吃，但是多少有吃進一點。

Medicine was very bad taste, but Adan still have eaten a little bit inside his body.

阿丹小時候最喜歡的就是咬吸管了。

Adan loves biting straw very much.

家庭革命後兩個月，阿丹還是生病沒什麼起色，不知道是不是醫師看得不對，但是那時候也沒有認識貓博士啊，總之就是禱告中過日子。就在有一天我去寵物店看見貓草，就買回家種種看。貓草很快就發芽了，拿到阿丹前面，好神奇，原本一直躺著不動的阿丹，走路很難走的阿丹，忽然就站起來跑到貓草前面開始吃了。
After family revolution 2 months. Adan still not good. I didn't get it, don't know if the VET was not good enough or what. We were living in everyday pray. One day, I went to the pet shop seeing the cat grass. So I brought one to planted at home. And it growed. I bring the cat grass in front of Adan, it was a miracle!! Adan was walking very hard for over a half year, always lying, he suddently stood up and running to the cat grass and beginning to eat~! 兩歲多的阿丹第一次嚐到貓草的美味。他一直吃個不停，我們看見他這麼有活力也很開心。
More than 2 years old Adan first time tasted for cat grass, he can't stop eatting and eatting, we were so surprised and very happy seeing his had so many energy.

就在連續吃貓草三天之後，阿丹又開始跑跑跳跳，開始活潑回來了。帶去給醫師看，竟然也沒有什麼問題了，好像是從來沒有生病一樣。於是我和妹妹把貓草稱為奇蹟的解藥。那也是現在為什麼我會常常種植貓草給阿丹食用，因為我堅信貓草可以帶給阿丹一定程度的健康。

After continue eating cat grass 3 days, Adan was back, back to running and jumping~! We brought him to vet, the vet said he is very healthy just like never sick before. So, Toshie and I named cat grass is miracle grass. That is why I often plant cat grass for Adan now. Because I believe cat grass could bring Adan many good health.

吃貓草兩個禮拜後，阿丹跳很高的程度也又回來了。爸爸和繼母有時候會問阿丹現在生病狀況怎樣，我們也沒有說什麼，總之就是還好，但是，爸爸和繼母有要讓阿丹「自然離開」的想法已經失敗，阿丹又恢復了健康，還可以陪伴我們一陣子了。

After eating cat grass 2 weeks, Adan can back to jump "super high". Sometimes Dad and stepmom ask how is Adan's illness condition. We didn't speak much. But, their planning to see Adan "naturally gone" was fail. Adan was back to healthy, and can staying with us for more time.

沒有了兩個妹妹，阿丹也開始學會了看鴿子姊姊的樂趣，鴿子姊姊變成了他最好的姊妹。也是從這時候開始。

Without 2 sisters. Adan started to learn the funny of watching pigeons, pigeon sisters were becoming his best sisters, since that time.

下週再續~

Until the Next Week~
