PIERRE HAS COME HOME!

TODAY IS AMAZING.

My beloved Kitten has come home!!!!

I drove to UC Davis this afternoon to pick him up. 

I have not stopped smiling since the moment I saw his bald little face come toward me in the waiting room...

So here is how the day went:

I left Truckee at 1:30. I drove to Sacramento and remembered that I needed to find a Petco so I could get pierre some wet food and a new toy or two because he didn't have any at the house. I couldn't pick him up until five so I had tons of time to kill, which wasn't hard since I got lost in a few different ghettos on my way to and from Petco. GPS isn't always accurate. 

So I got to UC Davis at 5..a little early but I hoped that I'd be able to get him anyway. I sat in the waiting room for about three minutes and then I saw the most beautiful sight imaginable..

Dr. Claus walking down the hallway with Pierre in her arms! I was finally reunited with my little buddy! I took him from her and held him tight and he, of course, head butted me twenty times before I could even begin to look at the vet and listen to what she had to tell me. I had tears in my eyes looking at Pierre. He looked so much better! He was purring and snuggling... I'm almost crying just typing about how happy we were! 

OK, so on to the Pierre's Health Update:

The preliminary biopsy results are leaning toward Pemphigus Foliaceus. That is a good thing. We still don't know for sure (so please don't stop your prayers), but if it is what they think it is, it is treatable. (yayyy) 

So I have to give Pierre Prednisone(steroid), Clavamox(antibiotic), Famcyclovir(antiviral), a painkiller that is like a dulled down morphine, and Lysine. 

He has stitches in his chin from biopsies, and he is balding on most of his face. He has to wear this soft collar lampshade so he doesn't scratch his wounds. 

So, I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE PIERRE HOME! he is not out of the woods yet cause we don't know for sure of the details yet.

So please keep praying for him. He's my best friend in all the world. He's passed out in my really soft zebra blanket right now. Its adorable.

Thank you all who have prayed, I believe they really have helped. I think a certain birthday wish thanks to my friend Nic really helped too :) So keep praying my friends and I believe Pierre will make it through these hard times. He just needs love, wishes, hope and a warm place to snuggle :)

Love,

Linds and Pierre
