My Blazey.<3
He’s not doing so well these days. His lost his sight due to hemorrhaging in his eyes, which caused his retinas do detach, the lymphoma is in his bone marrow now and he can’t make red blood cells, and he may have high blood pressure from all the stress on his body. Dr. N pretty much told me this may be my last weekend with him. I feel terrible. I mean, he’s still eating, drinking, pooping and doing the cat thing. Last weekend was a bad weekend for him..he spent most of it in his little bed. I gave him an injection of Dexamethisone yesterday afternoon and we increased his Prednisone from 2.5mg once a day to 2.5mg twice a day to keep his immune system going. She also had me start him on Amlodipine 2.5mg once a day to see if that helps his blood pressure any. She said we may be able to restore his eyesight, provided he lives long enough for the meds to take any effect on his eyes. We’ll see. I just want him to be comfy and happy..that’s all that matters.
I just feel like an idiot because I put this cat on such a high pedestal and almost think of him as a little person. He’s been with my since I was 11, I’m 23 now..and needless to say, we’ve been through a ton of shit together. My parent’s divorce, an abusive relationship, my mom’s breast cancer scare, the loss of my best friend in 2005 and a major life change/move from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. I mean..there were points in my life where he was the only one that was there for me. Ugh, I’m going to start crying again..blah.
Anyways..Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I’m thankful for the amazing family I have. I mean..everyone: my mom, my sister (Bean), my mom-mom, Mike, my kitties (MoMo, Holly, Blazey), Mike’s whole family..it’s just amazing. Everyone has been so supportive of me..from bouncing between jobs when I first got here, from changing my course out of vet tech to beauty school, to Blazey’s poor prognosis. Thank you all. I couldn’t have held myself together like this if it wasn’t for all of you.
DM..keep your chin up and don’t cave in.
