I'm really glad you vented- it helps doesn't it?
Your kitten couldn't be in better hands, I went to graduate school at a Veterinary Medicine College- and we all brought our pets there because they had the latest equipment and the brightest researchers. (you'll never have that type of access in private practice). So if anyone can help, you know these people can. I like that they are being conservative and waiting to see if the antibiotics help before doing anything more invasive, I think cats more then any other animal have the most remarkable recoveries. I'm sure your other kittens miss their sick buddy, so it's good you're giving them extra attention (and probably receiving it too).
It sounds like your plate is really full, is there any way to break things down- like take care of your studies first (and of course your kitten), then maybe ask your Dad for some space while you do that? You should be getting support from your boyfriend, not added stress- so make sure you are surrounded by supportive friends/ and or family- everyone should understand the stress you're going through and want to help. Don't even think about marriage and stuff right now (unless those are happy thoughts), everything will fall into place as it's supposed to. I guess I'm saying deal with one thing at a time so you don't have a meltdown (and that won't help you at all). Please treat yourself well and let us know how you and your kitten are doing. take care, judy
