Don't wait.
I am sending lots of prayers. May all the angels surround you and
Lucy. She is a dear little cat who loves you tremendously.
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

Subject: Please say a prayer for
Lucy
Lucy was doing better, getting over her IBD flare-up I thought; but I
tapered her down to 5 mg/day of pred yesterday (did 10 for a week, then 7.5
for 4 days, then 5 starting yesterday) and today she is worse-- some diarrhea
with some blood, less interest in food, and under 8 pounds for the first
time. I put her back on 10 mg pred today and cooked her something new
(duck) which I am now afraid will mess her up even more. I made another
appointment (canceled the last one) with the internist in Red Bank, 1.5 hours
away, for next Wednesday. I was going to try to take her tomorrow, but
my mom has convinced me thus far to wait and see if she gets better again from
the pred and not take her if she does. I don't know. I fear intestinal
lymphoma. I feared it when she first flared up 2 weeks ago, but then after 3
days on 10 mg/day of pred and eating just turkey her diarrhea totally went
away and she even got constipated from lack of fiber, and I figured that was
unlikely to happen with lymphoma and more likely to be a flare-up of IBD. But
now I don't know. She has never needed to be on so much pred for more than a
few days before, and she has never lost so much weight (though she also has
never been on an entirely protein diet before either). If she does not
have lymphoma, her IBD has gotten much worse than it was. I am very
depressed by this. If you can spare her some good thoughts and prayers, I
would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Michelle
