Happy Tuesday and sending out many healing vines to Tarragon today and any others who need them. Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to Kathy and Angela as their sweet babies Cleo and Josie crossed the Bridge. LL holds you both close in our hearts.

Mike did a fabulous job with Gracie while I was gone and I think she wore him out! But she is doing spectacular and I got a great welcome home just a bit ago with she and Tobey wrestling and hopping in and out of the suitcase as I was unpacking. Those two
will always make us laugh....what a pair. She is such a delicate, little thing and he's such a muscular baby boy but she can sure put on that tomboy stinkeye and get him in an unforgiving headlock and all you see of him is those bush baby eyes :lol: :lol: :lol:
We are concerned about Gracie's liver values...her ALT has not changed since the last bloodwork two weeks ago. She's been on clavamox six weeks and the vets think it's done all it will do. Dr. B is talking to the IM specialist today to see what the next step is...try another A/B or what. She mentioned a needle biopsy of the liver but the U/S showed it as totally normal and I don't think we want to do that until we've tried another A/B. Will keep you all posted. It's befuddling....she is eating well, romping, stomping, playing, perfect poos...I have no idea what could be causing her ALT to be elevated.

Trip went fine. Mom is ok...glad I got to go check on her and spend some time with my sisters. I also got to see my favorite aunt who has Alzheimers. That was tough....she didn't recognize us by name but knew we were relatives. We had a lovely visit but my cousin said that 30 minutes after we left, our aunt did not even remember we had been there. :sad:

We have a couple errands to run and will BBL. Have a great day.

Welcome home Marje! I'll bet everyone is loving having you back. Gracie and Tobes are too cute. Glad you had a nice visit, and I hope you get Gracie's ALT figured out. Thanks again for taking the time to weigh in on Muffin's condo last night.
 
Re: 10/9 Gracie AMPS 81 +2 81 +3 113 +5 132

Welcome back, we all missed you! How puzzling and worrisome about Gracie's ALT values. Thanks goodness she is not showing any ill effects. I am confident the IM specialist will have some ideas. I know in humans, pancreatitis can often result in liver inflammation as well, especially if infection (or stones) block any of the ducts. Paws crossed you get some answers very soon! That's good your visit went well with your family. And we send you lots of hugs for comfort after visiting your Aunt with Alzheimer's disease. It is such an awful disease and we are all feel so powerless to make any difference. It is certainly is all about the now and enjoying the moment, not what is remembered later. I'm sure she appreciated being surrounded by family. :YMHUG:

Welcome back Marje and I can imagine how happy everyone at home is to see you. So cute with Gracie and Tobes in and out of your suitcase. I sure hope your Vet and the IM Vet can get to the bottom of why Gracie's live values are high. I hope another antibiotic is the answer. So glad you had a nice visit with DM and DSisters. That has to be the hardest thing to see someone suffering from Alzheiners. Glad you got to see her. Hope you get some rest in there today, too.

Welcome home! What a nice welcome home with the kids playing and some nice greens. Hope you get all settled back in and rested up soon. I'm glad your trip went ok. Alzheimer's is very tough. It is almost as if you lose them twice. DH's grandma had it and he was devastated. Have a restful evening!!
 
Re: 10/9 Gracie AMPS 81 +2 81 +3 113 +5 132

That's so cute on Gracie and Tobey helping you unpack. I hope you can find out what is causing Gracie's liver values to be high.
 
Re: 10/9 Gracie AMPS 81 +2 81 +3 113 +5 132

Welcome back Marje! Glad your trip went well and alll are glad to have you back. Hope you get some answers soon about Gracie's liver.

Hi Marje,
Welcome home! I'm glad that your trip to see your mother and your sisters went well. Very sorry to hear about your aunt. Alzheimers is a devastating disease. I think it is much harder on the family than it is on the patient, at least after it has reached a certain stage where memory is just not there any more. My oldest sister has it, and no longer recognizes anyone. But she is seemingly happy and spends a lot of time doing those word puzzles where you find and circle the words (she was a wiz at crossword puzzles).

I hope that you and the vet will be able to find the reason for Gracie's high ALT.

Enjoy your evening. Scritches to Gracie, Tobey and Gus, and a hi to Mike,

Hugs from us,

Ella & Rusty

Why you on the rise today, Gracie?
Hope it's right back down again!

I hope you get some answers soon. That's quite the puzzle.
Love that they enjoyed the suitcase. Suitcases aren't liked around here. We don't even pull them out until the last hour before leaving.
I'm sure everyone is so glad that mamabean is home!!
 
Re: 10/9 Gracie AMPS 81 +2 81 +3 113 +5 132

So glad you made it home safely. Sounds like a good trip but definitely can be emotional dealing w/ family ailments.

I am sorry to hear about Gracie's liver values. I so hope you are able to get an answer soon. But how good that she is doing well overall. Bet she was glad to see momma come home.
