Quick Update for Monday

Kitties have stomach ulcers too and take the same medicines! If they take their medicine regularly they respond to the therapy as well; a little smoked turkey helps too! All of this to thoroughly confuse and explain that Foster is responding well to therapy for an ulcer caused from the antibiotic taken after his canine teeth were removed. He had lost one pound in two weeks and weighed a mere 8.2 lbs. Thankfully, Dr. Miller was right on with her diagnosis and he has responded with only one protest to taking his medication. Smoked turkey cured that hiccup. He trains quickly and is eager for medication followed by turkey.

On the other side of the care scale, my dad is doing very well and his knee has finally turned around (not literally) and is healing beautifully. My focus for him is to limit my visits to twice weekly and push him to be more independent and eat in the main dining hall. I'm working toward recovering some semblance of a life for myself though my digestive system has let itself be "heard" that the past few weeks were not acceptable and fatigue is not preferred.

I'm looking forward to a trip to California Aug. 6-15 to visit family and celebrate Joshua's first birthday. Hope all of you had a joyous Fourth of July!
