Read my updates below to see what I mean...
Update: I just can't
seem to stop loosing weight! I am now down to 9.5 pounds.
Dr. Cruz told my daddy to feed me what every I want to eat. I think I will
have Kitten Chow.
Update Oct 8, 2001:
Now I'm down to 8.6 pounds. Dr. Cruz wants to see me.
They are going to do an ultra-sound on my tummy to see what is going on inside.
I will let you know what they find soon.
Update Nov 20, 2001:
I get to stay with Dr. Cruz for Thanksgiving. I weigh 8 pounds.
They are going to run more tests.
Update Nov 24, 2001: I get to go home. The techs forgot to tell the doctors I was here to get my tests done... I now weigh only 7 pounds. Dr. Acton saw me before I got to go home.
Update Nov 25, 2001:
I'm home, but I don't feel so good.
I am really weak and I don't want to eat anything at all.
Update Nov 26, 2001: Back to the doctor's office. Dr.Sultzer saw me because Dr. Cruz was on holiday. He says I need to have a PEG tube to fed me and some more test, but I have to go to a different hospital to have it done. So, off to the ICC&IM hopspital in Tustin. I'm a little scared and meomy and daddy are worried about me. I meowed at them that I would be ok.
Update Nov 27, 2001: I'm recovering from my surgery. They did an upper and lower GI scope on me and then put in the PEG tube. It is tube that goes through my side right into my stomach.
Update Nov 28, 2001: I'm getting fed through the PEG tube today. Rabbit and Green Peas... hmm I hope Butterscotch and Fudge are not offended. I get to go home again tomorrow.
Update Dec 5, 2001: I visited Dr. Cruz today. She gave me a vitamin shot and cleaned up my PEG tube entry site. I feel a little better but I only weigh 6.6 pounds now.
Update Dec 7, 2001: Back at ICC&IM for a check-up. I am weak but still fighting.
Update Dec 25, 2001: Still at home and felling a little better, Merry Christmas everyone!
Update Jan 1, 2002: Happy New Year! Didn't think I would make it, did you?
