5/8 My Sweet Rex PMPS 327 +3 258 - CKD

[RichNW & Rex]

My Dear LL Family,

I had the best time every spending 2 full days with Little Gracie and Tobey.
Gracie was even purring when I took her to the testing station.
And who knew Tobey was a big ham and so into selfies. :lol:
I couldn't believe it when he jump between me and the cell phone while I was texting Marje. Tooo Funny!!

The love of my life - Rex
Well Rex had taken a turn for the worse. We knew one of his kidney was slightly larger than the other.
We just didn't think it was going to be this soon.
He looked so good and was doing so well after his tooth surgery. Marje and Josie even came over to see him in his prime.
His vet and I have been monitoring him quite closely but his little body has really had enough.
He is on fluids (twice a day), B12 (once a week), Clindamycin (once a day), PepcidAC (twice a day), Mirtazapine (every 3 days) and Renal Food.

But his little system is just worn out. Right now we are doing all we can to make him comfortable - sleeping mostly.
We trying to find things that might make him happy and the past two evenings we have taken him to the park.
Spend time with him on the blanket, let him smell and walk on the grass, and let him take in all the fresh air.

He has been adventurous and walking around - It is funny how energized he seems.
At times I (and hope he does also) forget he is sick.

Thanks for all the thoughts a prayers. I will try to update as much as I can.

Love
The R Team

Hi Rich - I'm sorry about Rex. All we can ever do is listen to what they tells us, keep them as comfortable as we can. Often they do not know illness, and deal with it the best they can. They give us so much, ask little in return. Hold your boy close. Mannie loved the outdoors too, we did the same for him as you are doing for Rex. Hugs to all there.

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

So sorry to hear Rex isn't doing very well.

You're doing a wonderful thing by giving him everything you can, while also paying such close attention to how he's feeling. We never want to hold them longer than is best for them, but it's always so hard to let them go.

Prayers sent for you and Rex, and hopes that he has more time left for you to love on him

{{{Rich}}}:

I am so sorry to hear that Rex is doing so poorly. It is obvious how much you love him. I know you are doing everything you can to keep him comfortable. My heart breaks for you as you go through this. I pray that you will have many quality days together. Stay strong, knowing that you have all of LL thinking of and praying for you and Rex.

BTW, I think it was wonderful that you could stay with Gracie and Tobey and allow Marje and Mike to get away for their anniversary. I know you are aware how honored you are that Gracie approves of you. It was a great thing to do and you are a very generous, kind person.

Sending prayers, hugs and peaceful vines. :YMHUG:

I'm so sorry that the CKD is taking its toll. Treasure the time and do what you're doing -- making Rex comfortable and taking the time to spend doing the things that mean a great deal to you both. Take pictures. Make memories. They last forever.
