Another Coco Update Finally!
January 28, 2009
The above photo is of Coco with her sister Chanel a few days ago along with her pink monkey that I bought to hang on her cage the day she came home from the hospital. She seems to like that monkey. It's funny, I never can tell what toys they will get attached to or not.
It has been three weeks today since her surgery and I must say that the transformation is amazing! She began chemotherapy last Thursday because her blood levels were excellent and the vet felt she was ready and the sooner the better. Her treatments so far have been mild and will be this week as well. I do realize that they may not all be. However, the word "chemo" has always made me shiver to say the least. I am beginning to feel differently. It is medicine and helps a lot of god's creatures get well!
I really want to apologize for not updating more often and ESPECIALLY for not responding to and or returning comments. I feel VERY badly about this! I have continued to participate in Entrecard by reading blogs and dropping cards because it is very helpful and enjoyable to me right now. It is a great anxiety reducer for me!
Blogging has been good for me and I am going to try to get back into the swing of things. Again, I can never thank all of you enough for visiting my site, checking on Coco and your well wishes. God bless all of you!
Thank you for the smile! I am so happy that she is doing so much better. Chemo is a very scary word, but it does help so many :)
pes: I do not see one thing you have to apologize for :) I think like the rest of us, when things are very bad you try and keep busy and stop thinking, because just being human we think silly things.
You continue to be looking after yourself, and please give Miss Coco many firm but soft tummy rubs for us :))
We will still be back here purring for you all :))

Thanks for the update on Coco. That's good news! I'm so glad she is getting better. It is funny what toys the cats choose! Don't feel bad about not posting more, we understand.

Coco is doing well. She gained some weight and is back to 6 lbs. Her pac cell count is 35 and she is full of energy. Had to skip chemo today as her white count was to low but Vet said that is normal with chemo and may take a few more dasy to get back up so she gets a 1 week break from chemo and needles.Thanks again everyone for your prayers and well wishes dave the hubby

I'm glad to hear Coco has responded well to the chemo. Tell her she is a very brave girl, and very lucky to have a mom and dad who care so much.
