I’m sad and scared

My baby, my best friend hasn’t been feeling well.
She was a bit overweight before this and we were trying a diet on her so we just thought her losing weight was normal part of the diet.
But then one day she refused to eat her hard food, then it was hard to get her to eat wet food. I immediately took her to the vet and they did the senior blood work and everything was normal except her liver levels were 3 points higher than normal range. So the vet thought it was an infection in the liver. Got an antibiotic shot and mirataz to get her to eat.
Well today is two weeks since that shot and she’s back to not wanting to eat again.
Tomorrow she goes back to the vet, they said possible IBD or lymphoma. I’m just terrified to lose her.
She also hates prescription foods, so can she continue to eat her food with treatment?
Can a cat live a long life with IBD?

I have a question

I can’t get vaccinated, I suffer from MCAS and I’m allergic to so much, so my husband gets the vaccine.
Question is, if he gets this one and is around someone with Covid, would his vaccine protect against shedding large viral loads to me?

Sepsis/kidney stone

My mom had a kidney stone that caused her to go into septic shock. She also had DKA which they are blaming on metformin.
Tomorrow she gets the stent out, but her CT scan still shows the 3mm stone in the kidney.
I’m worried that the same thing will happen, the stone will get stuck and cause an infection.
And also I read that pulling the stent can cause sepsis to reoccur 😭 I’m so scared.
Has anyone gone through something similar?

Anxiety

My mother developed sepsis, went into shock and DKA from a kidney stone.
They told me she was extremely sick and might not make it. Was intubated and had dialysis once and when she woke up the next day they pulled everything and was sent to a regular room and two days later was released.
To say that I am scared would be an understatement. I’m afraid it’s going to come back, I’m afraid that they released her too soon. How she went to “being the sickest ever” to coming home and saying she feels good is mind boggling.
Anyone else have anxiety for their family member that went through this? I feel scared every single day. (It’s been a few days since she came home) 😭
