At three days post release, Sam is still doing well. He has been getting stronger and stronger and is thoroughly enjoying the fact that he gets to eat unlimited "cat food" - he thinks that anything that comes out of a can is cat food, so even though he's getting canned DOG food, we are continuing to let him think that he's getting away with something and eating LOTS of "cat food". All of our other pets are extremely jealous of his punk hairdo - picture the seventh place entry in a children's poodle clipping contest. He has shaved ankles all around, a shaved square on his hip, shaved belly, neck, and chest. His temperature has stayed normal so far and he's been a champ about taken his many medications (buried in the "cat food", sssssssshhhhh.....). He's getting back into his normal routines, but is still tired and a bit wobbly from time to time. It was great to have him meet me at the door the other day for the first time since his return. We are scheduled for a re-check with the internal medicine doctor around Wednesday this week and I'll keep checking his temperature every day or so to keep tabs.
Thanks for all of your support and well wishes. We all truly value our friends and family and appreciate all of your e-mails and calls. My apologies for not getting back to everyone, if I haven't yet. I'm getting over a nasty chest cold from last weekend and Mike has been down with a chest cold/flu (temp of 102) most of this week. Hopefully, the ship is righting itself and we'll all be on the up and up for a while.
All our best wishes and love,
Jen, Mike, Sam, Abby, the cats, and Emmy
