YOU ARE RIGHT SUE AND HOPE TO BE READY TO LOOK AFTER HIM BY THAT TIME!
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM LANGFORD TODAY AND WAS WORRIED COS WASNT EXPECTING ONE AND THEY SAID THEY WOUD RING IF A PROBLEM! NO PROBLEM.
WAS ANGIE WHO IS A VET AND SAYS HE IS DOING FINE AND EATING WELL. THEY HAVE WEIGHED HIM AND HE IS HOLDING HIS WEIGHT BUT THIS SORTA MAKES ME THINK THEY ARE NOT SURE! IF HE STARTS LOSING WEIGHT THEY WILL TEST T4 LEVEL EARLIER THAN LEAVE IT UNTIL BEFORE HE COMES HOME.
ASKED THEM HOW THEY KNEW ABOUT THERADIATION LEVELS BEFORE COMINGHOME AND THEY DONTTEST UNLESS THEYARE WORRIED DUE TO THE VAST NUMBER OF READING THEY HAVE TAKEN FROM CATS AND THE HISTORICAL DATA SHOWS AT THE POINT THATTHEY ARE PROPER CATS AGAIN.
ALSO ASKED HER WHAT HAPPENS IF HIS T4 LEVELS ARE STILL HIGH AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETIES THEY CAN TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS FORTHEM TO DROP FULLY AND THENHE WOULDSTILL BE ON MEDICATION UNTIL THEY DID.
I SAID THAT WHEN HE ARRIVED AT LANGFORD THEYFOUND HIS LEVELS WERE THE HIGHEST EVER , ABOUT 400, AND SHE SAYS HE HAS QUITE A LARGE NODULE ON HIS THYROID WHICH WILL BE WHY, SO IT MUST HAVE GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY FROM OCT BECAUSE GARETH SAID HE COULD ONYJUST ABOUT FEEL IT.
IF WHEN THEY TEST HIS LEVELS BEFORE HE IS DUE TO COME HOME THEY ARE STILL VERY HIGH THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY TREAT HIM AGAIN, WHICH APPARENTLY IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT MEANS HE WASNT GIVEN ENOUGH THE FIRST TIME.
THEY ASKED IF THE COULD CLIP HIS CLAWS AND CUT OUT SOME MORE MATS................YES OF COURSE
THEY SAY HE IS GETTING UP THE RAMP TO THE HIGHER LEVEL AND STILL ON ETACAM WHICH THEY MIX WITH A BIT OF FOOD AND HE IS EATING IT AND SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT I NEED IDEAS OF WHAT FOODS HE IS HAVING IT IN FOR WHEN HE COMES HOME. FORGOT TO SAY WE WILL NEED SOME METACAM TO COME HOME WITH HIM.
HARD TRYING TO REMEMBER EVERY THING COS MY DOCTOR JUST RANG!
SO WE DISCUSSED THE RAMP WHICH APPARENTLY IS COVERED WITH RUBBER BUBBLY STUFF SO HE CAN GRIP AND HE IS IN THE LONG STAY WARD NOW. SO I THINK HE IS BACK WHERE HE STARTED.
THEY GAVE HIM THE T4 TABS BEFORE TREATMENT BUT KNOW I CANT DO THAT BUT ARE HAPPY THAT IF HE HAS TO GO BACK ON MEDS FOR A TIME THE THYRONORM WILL BE FINE..............JUST HOPING WE WILL NOT HAVE TO GO THERE!
SO PAULA I MAY NEED ALL THAT BLOOMIN MONS PETIT!
HEADS GONE BLANK NOW AND MY DOC WISHES HIM WELL
JUST SO STRESSED OUT AGAIN
