Happy Fursday. Sending many good OTJ wishes for those on trial and healing vines for those in need.
LBG has been so playful and funny this morning. She is becoming quite the little purr box kitten and mama got major headbutts. She and Tobes had a great wrestling match this morning and they both looked to be having a very good time of it. She's on the 7th cycle of her reduction and her numbers are just so-so but lower today than they have been. We just want to see what she can do on this dose. She got really low on the higher dose and didn't want to come up; even though we have an in-between dose, there isn't much difference between where we are now, the in-between dose, and the higher dose so we'll just see if patience pays off.
We haven't been around because we've been spending time with Gussie and trying to assess his QOL with an open mind. He's not been eating well the last few days; he just seems weak and weary. He gets up to use the LB, to drink (a lot), and maybe have a bite of food. We spoke with the AC yesterday and she said he is ready to go.....he's just feeling very weak although not in any pain. We also had a long talk with Dr. B and we agree this is not related to his kidneys. He is not exhibiting any end-stage renal disease symptoms. It appears to be intestinal whether advanced IBD or lymphoma but now I'm seriously wondering if it is lymphoma as it appears to be more upper small intestine than large intestine. He no longer wants his weekly Reiki/chiro sessions with Dr. G. He's been a bit more fidgety on some days with his squids and he's never been like that. The AC said he's just letting us know that he no longer needs these things. So today, no meds, no fluids, only love and peace. Dr. B and Dr. G are coming at 6:30 tonight to help us assist him on his next journey. We are heartbroken.....in his heart, he is still a kitten and we can tell he still wants to be here and participate but his poor little body is just wasting now and he just doesn't have the energy.
I will likely post a condo for him tonight to say our goodbyes.
My sister fell and hurt her knee and so she didn't come. She is very sad about that because she is very close to Gus and was crying very hard this morning. I think no kitty ever touched as many lives or has been as well loved by so many as Gussie. o
