First of all, Please keep J's grandmother, gaga, in your prayers!!! She is in the hospital and we are hoping she can come home very soon!
Its been one week since we brought Flik home from the vet and he's
finally starting to improve slightly. It has been a long week of waking up several times a night (every hour for the first 3 nights!) and lots of inturupted school work while keeping him calm on the mattress on our living room floor during the day.We alternate sitting with him so he always has direct supervision. I haven't even seen J because we altrinate work schedules and when we are rarely both home it's the only time I can shower or do dishes (I can't even tell you what a disaster our house is right now!). We left the cone on 2 nights and during the second night I couldn't take it anymore. He whined the entire time and as soon as it came off he did great. We just have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he doesn't mess with the staples.
LA and TJH came over to bring Flik some home made get well cards! So sweet!
Literally both on top of me while I'm trying to do school!
Mid week it was lookin a little red and swollen, but it's a little better now.
Lilo has been trying to be sweet we just have to be careful she doesn't step on him.
He has only been left alone for about 20 minutes in between Joey and I switching shifts but he really hates the cone!
I haven't been able to do much more than a few crunches all week so tonight I brought my bike in on the trainer and rode while watching him. It felt great to be moving a little!
He is out of one of his pain meds tonight so it is getting worse again quickly. I think this is going to be another sleepless night! The vet said if he shakes too bad they will extend the meds, and as much as I don't want him to be hurting, I do think more meds would help him stay a little more subdued.
Sorry this is all about Flik, but that has been our week! I've missed talking about
Lots of birthdays and anniversaries, so I'll try to do a catch up post soon!
