Maya is holding steady. It is a balancing act between her hyperthyroidism and kidney disease, but with the able guidance of Dr. Sara Hogle at Baring Boulevard Veterinary Hospital, Maya has not only gained weight (1.5 lbs!) but is doing well. We are continuing her thyroid meds as before and doing sub-q fluids twice a week. While it would be nice to get her thyroid number down a bit more, it has been cut in half from her original numbers and to try to bring it down any further by upping her meds could create more issues for her kidneys. So, for now, we continue as we have been. We are so very grateful to modern veterinary science for keeping our girl alive and well, given all her challenges.

The sun was just about down when I slipped into the yard to capture my big boy with his usual worried face. He really does worry too much, but I don’t think there is any changing it at this stage of his life.

Where’d they all go?

Nina is getting used to it just being me and Sweetie again, but I really think she misses Mary Janet, the staffer who was staying in our spare bedroom, and all the people who were in and out of our house over the past few months.  Not to worry, little girl. They’ll be back.
