;DHome at last!!! Bethany's BS is still running a little low so Doc has upped her Pred to 1/4 tablet twice a day.
Toby, the Macho Man, got a shot of Lupron to try and curb his romantic advances toward Elvis Fuzz!! As I thought Doc said that with the removal of the left adrenal gland that the right on is working harder to try to keep the hormone level up. Poor Elvis sure hopes this works as his ears are getting sore from Toby chewing on them!!
Elvis Fuzz had a better day that I expected. The small mast cell tumor has about gone away. Doc cauterized the large one so that it won't bleed if he scratches it. Unfortunately the biopsy done from the expiration of the mass was inconclusive. Doc removed the knot. It was about the size of a silver dollar and about 1/2 inch thick. She's sending it out for a biopsy. The place she uses is kinda slow but she said they are the best lab around. We should hear something next week. As for Elvis, he doesn't even realize he's has surgery again. He woke up within minutes after he was brought to me and was fighting to get down and move around!! He will still be on the Sulcrafate for a few more days and will take Flagyl --- the nastiest tasting med there is --- for a week!! He's down there now with his face in the food bowl. After he finishes eating I will put him in the carrier and let him out later to eat again.
Thanks again for all of the healing thoughts and prayers that were sent to my kids. I know that they helped a lot.
