Awesome news: Weight gain!

Whoopee!! Kaesea weighed in at 9.93 pounds at the vet today! YAY! This is the first significant weight gain he has had since... well, since he got sick in April, really. Almost 1/2 a pound since his last vet visit. If we can keep his eating up, I'm hoping he'll be well into 10+ territory by his next visit.

Today was chemo-at-the-vet day. They're surprised by how feisty (read: pissed off) he is there now, since they were used to Sweet Little Sick Kaesea. When he was sick, he was quiet and subdued, but now that he's putting on his chubby pants, he's got a voice and a swing again. To their credit, everyone there seems happy to see his feisty side, as it means he is getting better.

He gets chemo pills at home next week and, if all goes well, he doesn't go back for a vet treatment for another 3 weeks (the day before US Thanksgiving). Fingers crossed that will hold and that he will gain even more weight during that time.

Gotta go -- time to feed the Kaesea!
