Hi, Sandra. Priscilla made another champion showing at the vet's yesterday. (Sorry, I didn't have a chance to check in here last evening.)

She weighed in at 5.7 pounds.. a .2 lb. increase since last week and .7 lb. increase (that's about 15 percent) over the last three weeks! And her hematocrit has gone up another couple of points to 15 now, so the plan to start her on Epogen is on hold.

I asked Dr. Lewis what is the long-term prognosis for her, and she said it's not good.. she's had cats going two years and more, but she "doubts we'll be doing all these things for her four years from now." She said Priscilla's recent improvements are due "entirely to the hard work you and she have been doing."

Meanwhile, we'll keep doing as we've been doing, and she goes back for another checkup in two weeks.

Thanks, and love to all,

Pat and Priscilla
