    Good update!

    Boo went in for his blood work yesterday and Dr. Lee just now called me w/the results. Long story short, he's doing really well. He did say, however, that Boo's creatinine is beginning to creep up and we all know what that means: his kidneys will eventually get worse. But for now he's doing ok, no need to give subQ's, which was a relief to me. He's still so thin that I shudder at the thought of sticking a needle in him but if/when the time comes, I'll do it, no worries. Dr. Lee said that Boo is doing so well on his thyroid meds that his thyroid test came back normal. So, once again, good vet care and PT prayers have saved the day and have given me more precious time w/my 19 year old blackie. Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes, friends. Oh, btw, the crying for Pidgie has finally ended.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I'm sending lots of good thoughts for Boo! I'm glad to hear his thyorid medicine works so well. Spoil him rotten and give him some more kisses from me, please.

    That's great! You're doing well, Boo and Mary both of you!

    I don't know, I'm getting a tad nervous. He's been sticking to me like glue the last couple of days. He's on my lap right now, which is the norm, but he's been sleeping on top of me, which isn't the norm. This morning he laid on my chest until I couldn't breathe so I got up. I have a road trip to IN in a couple of weeks and I missed the last couple of years b/c Puddy was too sick to leave her and then Pidge was too sick. I organized this trip so I sure don't want to cancel. He isn't sick but the fact that he's staying so close to me makes me wonder.
    Blessings,
    Mary
