That's a marvelous update. She'll be glad to be home with her pack. Or is it a pride? She'll be glad to be with you all!
I'm a little nervous about that actually.
None of my cats really like each other. Chuchi (with the rainbows) is kind of an asshole to her. I'm trying to figure out how to limit their interactions, which will be difficult because the litterbox, food and her bed are all in my room.

Well, she'll be happy to see YOU! I get you on the animals not getting along - i have three also, and it's always two against one. I dont know if you've had many sick cats but my experience is that there's at least a day or so of extra hissing after a hospital stay. The vet says it's because of the unusual smells the patient-cat pick up during her stay. Good luck!
Got home today and she was breathing weird. Short, fast, shallow. Like she had been running or exerting herself, which rarely happens because she's 15 and fat and has arthritis. My aunt (who is a vet) recommended I wait and let her rest a bit to see if it subsided. Couple hours later, got worse and now I'm anxiously sitting in the waiting room.
I need her to be okay.
****Good update!****
The vet called. Her breathing is back to almost normal and she ate eagerly. Meds they gave her for congestive heart failure overnight seem to be helping, but the echocardiogram didn't really indicate she has CHF. They aren't sure what caused the fluid in her chest/lungs, but since the CHF meds are helping they are going to try to lower the dose to see if it will manage it going forward without damaging her kidneys.
As long as nothing happens overnight I should be able to pick her up in the morning.
