Hey Everyone – Sorry for the lack of updates for a bit. Been a busy few weeks of life and enjoying our time with Oakley. Here are a few highlights:
– Got carpet installed on our stairs in the house to make things a bit easier for him. Five minutes after the installers leave he was flying up and down them.
– Have battled some phantom nerve pain issues and are now back on a mild dose of Gabapentin that seems to be keeping them at bay while not doping him up.
– Weekly bloodwork checks showed no huge WBC drops which was good. All in all he seems to have handled the first chemo well.
– Chemo 2 was today and went without any issues. Oakley is back home now and resting.
And the two big pieces of news….
1) Monday marks six weeks since Oakley became a tripawd!!! AND…
2) MONDAY IS OAKLEY’S 10TH BIRTHDAY!!!!🥳
Today on our way home from chemo we celebrated with a little bit of ice cream. The place we found is conveniently located on our way home so this may turn into a weekly treat (for his pawrents as well).
All in all we couldn’t be happier with how he is doing! 🙂
