More on Henri.

Dear Friends and Family,

Lowering Henri's Prednisone dose has made things a little more challenging to interpret. He appetite is not as veracious but I am not sure if is simple due to being on less Prednisone (an appetite stimulant) or if he isn't feeling as well or...if he is just working his parents...hoping for something better will fall into his food bowl. The change has me a little stressed out but time will tell what is going on. I figure, if he will take a treat, we are probably OK, as when he was very ill, he would either spit treats out or push them back into my hand.

His energy is very good. He is bright-eyed, playing, greeting us at the door and chattering throughout the day. Bella continues to closely monitor his food intake and carefully cleans the floor after each of his meals. As you will see in the attached photo, Henri torments his sister by eating slowing and telling her good his "special" food is. Luckily, Henri is a very messy eater which makes Bella very happy :)

In about a week, we go to our normal vet, Dr Myhre, for Henri's followup IMHA bloodwork. Then on March 6, we go to Tacoma for his internal medicine followup for the IBD/Crohn's Disease. I am anxious to talk with Dr Herman, his internist, to find out how she thinks he is doing and where we go from here.

The Helping Henri Medical Fund has begun. If you know of anyone who would be interested in being a member or making a donating...please have them contact me at westiepack@yahoo.com Remember even small donations can truly make a difference in our ability to help Henri.
Thank you!

Prayers!
Warmly,
