I don't know why, but I've been thinking about her and had been wondering how things have been going. I think it's the leaves changing-I look out my window to see what the old nags are doing out in their little field and see the mulberry trees turning colors and dropping leaves in the wind-I kept thinking Autumn...and then I realized you've been quiet, then I worried. I am so very sad-this #!*% disease steals our youngest from us. I lost the 4 brothers, Rosie's littermates this past year-only one made it to a year old, just barely. When I read of the Imulan product through your postings and Christy and Gray Kitty's postings-I knew I had to try and catch this before it became full blown anemia-their bloodwork at UC Davis in June was showing changes-nothing real bad, just indicators of anemia signs, little things-Murphy's and Rosie's tests said slight anisocytosis-the same as Oni who passed at 10 1/2 months (July) and Schatzi-he died right at a year old mid August. Buster and Jack had died already in May and June. My little feral litter-who knew that these sick little ones would turn our world upside down in such a short time. I pray for all our babies-it seems when they have the virus from birth or shortly after, it's almost surely a death sentence at a young age. I am glad we are trying the LCTI and we are still giving the Alpha Interferon 2x a day. They have soo much energy now-they play and play. I never knew they could be so energetic. Even if it's temporary (I am hoping it's not) it is so worth it. It's giving us time we need to have with them and not worry constantly about if this is it....and I noticed, neither one has had a sniffle or a sneeze since beginning the LCTI...strange...we were constantly buying antibiotics-we had constant refills of Zithromax at the Walmart pharmacy...knock on wood-but it's been over 2 1/2 months since their vomiting and diarreah spell. Strange how a good month seems like a lifetime when your kitties have been sick most of their lives. Jenny-Autumn is in good company-she is free of this horrible disease and is running and playing with all of our kitties now-she was so loved and I know she is ok. You are a very special lady with a big heart and I appreciate all I've learned here from you. I can hear Murphy galloping around the living room, chasing Rosie (he has a little bell) and I am grateful that I have this extra time with them. I have you and the others who are the pioneers with these new products to thank. So it was not in vain.
