: iZ isn't feelin' too good this last week ... have been hoping it's my over-active, worrying imagination, but i don't think so ... i can't palpate his kidneys (*whew*) and his appetite is still really good but am seeing too many things that are similar to last fall ... starting to have 'poop problems' again now ... and he is acting thirstier than he's been for a while ... and ... he's just got that 'sick little kid' look in his eyes again ... was hoping it was 'safe' to start worrying about "little" things like his legs, but looks like the kidneys are taking top priority again ... *heavy heavy sigh* ...

: am starting him back on Amphojel + oral syringe pedialye ... tho just once a day for now ... am trying to decide if i should also restart the Baytril ... i hate to do injections again if i don't really have to ... may go the oral route this time even tho it's not as good ...

: i think he's gonna be ok ... am just really bummed out that he's feeling lousy again ... so is he ... this has been a really long, hard road + he deserves good health ... at least we've got the added advantage this time around that he's regained weight + general health/strength ... i don't think this round is gonna hit as hard as last time ... but good vibes + chants are appreciated!

: on a positive note ... he's eating like a pig and we're going thru tons of food! (did you know 2 bunches of collards yields 4.5 cups of pureed mush???) it feels good that i've gone from mising up days worth of food in a little cereal bowl, to needing my biggest mixing bowl! am gonna have to start using the dish izpan pretty soon if this keep up ... *not feeling goodgrin* ... it feels alot better to be measuring his intake in cups as opposed to cc's! (btw, there's 240cc in one cup ... i've learned some really weird facts these last months!)

: hugs + headbobs,
: iZ + mom
