I am HOME!

Mom came to get me late this afternoon! I was never so thrilled to see her. And I know she was GLAD to see me.

My liver values are continuing to go down, not there yet, but we are getting there. Came off the IV fluids yesterday & values were still lower today. ALT under 300. I refused to eat while at the vet clinic, so doc thought it best if I went home. Maybe I would eat for mom. I was getting pretty hungry since my last meal on Aug 1st! So tonight I ate for mom!! Not a full course meal, but I ate!

She was thrilled. Mom & my doctor will be monitoring my progress. I am still on antibiotics, Denosyl & Denamarin. Will stay on this for a month or so and then check my liver values again. We couldn't have done it without your pawrayers!

But sadly, my housemate Kiana, is very, very sick and has gotten much worse since she went in on Friday. The treatment is not working. Tomorrow will tell us what we need to know. The vet said she couldn't come home even for a day or so, she is too sick. If there is no improvement by tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to our beloved Kiana. Pawlease say a prayer for her...

Love & Thanks!
KJ & Mom

KJ...we just read about this...mom has been so distraught since my passing she has not been on much. We feel just horrible...we are so thankful you are improving and are in fact home. Our Sadie Mae passed from liver failure and know how awful it is. You are in our prayers and of course Kiana.
Big hugs to you and mom...xoxox

KJ, I am so happy to read that you are home and have eaten for mom. I'm sure that is a relief to her. Praying that you continue to mend.

On the other hand, my heart is breaking over and over again for Kiana. Sending you and your family love and Power of the Paw.
