BraveHeart (disappointing UPDATE 3-17-08, page 7)

[jenluckenbach]

I am VERY discouraged.

1) his anemia did not resond as we hoped this past week.
2) he would not eat today (AM or PM meals)
3) he hates his new medicine and fights me. (and he is so frail, he feels like he'll break)
4) he is fighting getting his sub-Q's
5) he vomitted what I tried to syringe feed him tonight.

But there is one glimmer of hope.......in the throw-up there was DRY FOOD!! He's been nibbling, even if only a little.

SIGH.....

Oh Jen, how disheartening. I can only imagine how hard this must be on you and little Braveheart. More prayers on the way.

He's had a long hard road, as have you. I hope this is just a tough spot before the turnaround.

{{{{hugs}}}} and major PT prayers for BraveHeart!

I am sad to learn that the med is not working. And that BraveHeart is fighting you so much. BUT, at least he is eating on the sly...More prayers for you both!

[Medusa]

Sneaky little boy. He's trying his best to get something into him, that's for sure, and he's eating what he feels he can handle. Maybe this is a good sign.

We're all praying, and we're all with you, BraveHeart and Jen.

Love,
Pat and cats

He ate tonight, but not the canned food! He ate dry food (I pour water over it, to soften it) and he licked all the water and actually ate kibble!

I think our problem is that he prefers dry food over canned, but I haven't figured out his "Favorite" one. Combine that with the fact that he has no teeth

And I got some of his sub-q fluids into him tonight.

He's fairly perky, well, for BraveHeart

Hanging in there until the monday blood tests.

Oh Jen! I will continue to pray for that handsome boy!

[Catty1]

More and continued prayers for BraveHeart!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I hope that he'll continue to eat well. He continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Any little bit of food is better than none; come on, Braveheart, let's get this show on the road and start eating consistently!! Make your momma proud!! (and make all of us feel better ).

Maybe he should rub up against Mr. Meow?

[kb2yjx]

How is our BraveHeart doing??? Still eating, I hope!!! Prayers....
