It is still a challenge to get through the day without thinking of Farley... but the other cats are all doing well. Fred has taken to propping his head up on things like Farley used to do. Sophie is a little less irritating to me, because she isn't always stealing Farley's food. And Jezebel seems to be doing pretty well with her insulin.
We are back to doing 2.5 units in the morning but just 2 units in the evening. We have tested her blood sugar a few times, and about 6 hours after a dose, her levels are around 150 to 250.
Some things we've noticed recently, though, are that Jezebel seems to have an increased thirst and she isn't eating as much as we want her to eat. But, she is eating some food every day and she is getting around fine, so maybe we're just nervous.
On February 25, I took Jezebel in to see Dr. Phillips, and he said she seemed to be doing well. Her weight was holding steady from a month earlier, but he did notice a thickening of her intestinal tissue. He said that might be nothing, or it might be a type of lymphoma. We obviously don't want it to be lymphoma, so I'm hoping he doesn't feel anything there when she goes back in a few days.
