21 November 2012 - Wednesday

Ernie has been eating sooo much better for the past two days. It is such a weight off when he eats! He likes the new Weruva food - and I mix it with some dry kibble. He won't eat the grain free which is what is recommended for cancer, but its more important that he keeps weight on. Yesterday he ate some breakfast, lunch and dinner too. Tuesday night we went to the park and played ball for awhile and the fatty (charlotte my chihuahua) even got some exercise. Its very funny to watch her tried and run fast through tall grass with her short little legs. :-) I have talked to the oncologist about increasing the amount of time between treatments and see how he does. Ernie has always been super healthy so medications and vet visits are a new thing to him. Its more important that he has more good days than bad, otherwise what is the point? I have also been able to step down his prednisone and he might be off of that completely by next week depending on how he does. yay. The one yucky thing about cancer is that when there is a good day my mind thinks yay he is cured. But its not like he has an infection that will go away with a round of antibiotics. So we manage it day by day and continue to be grateful for the good days and pray for our continued strength.
