Dear Friends and Family,Henri is doing well. In fact, you might not even know he is sick except for his large ziplock of medications. He learned that squirrels exist this week and that has been his big highlight. Now, he knows why his sister is constantly glued to the window--she is on squirrel patrol.Also, this week, Henri's hormones have really kicked in making him extremely frisky. Being fixed will not be an option until he is completely weaned off of his medications. So knowing his sister has a zero-tolerance policy, also known as, I will rip your face hair off if you try that with me, I set out to find an outlet for him. Being Easter season, I went shopping for a Westie-sized Easter bunny. Let me just leave at, Henri is very much enjoying his new love, a huge white bunny ;)This week, we begin the next big hurdle for Henri, the medication weaning process starts Tuesday. We will be decreasing his cyclosporin dose. This hurdle is just as critical to his outcome, as all the others he has won thus far. His immune system must remain stable or "behave" as the internist said, as we remove these immunosuppressive medications. One week after each reduction, he will have a bloodcheck to monitor for relapse or more frequently if we feel something is wrong.Keep praying for No Relapse.
Warmly,Ella, Jeff, Bella, and Baby Henri
