Bummer

What a bummer! We went to the doctor Thursday and they took my blood and a peepee sample to check to make sure that I did not have diabetes or kidney or liver damage. But that night when Mommie went to check my tummy for spots there was a round wound that was an inch in diameter there. It was all red and black and it was surrounded by bruising. She panicked at once and called the er. They said it might have been from when they pricked me to get the samples. They told her to keep an eye on it and bring me in if it grew bigger. The next morning it was twice the size so she brought me in to see the doctor. They already had the results of my blood test and the diagnosis is that now I have Cushing's disease on top of everything else. The doctor said this was a side effect of all the prednisone I have been taking for my Evan's Syndrome. The wound I have is because my skin is becoming very thin due to the Cushing's. Sigh! Mommie was so upset. I did my best to comfort her. I crawled on her tummy and gave her a hug. I put my head on her chest to tell that all will be well. The doctor told her to put an ice compress on my wound to help keep the bruising down. I helped out by lying on my back and not moving while Mommie put the cold stuff on. It felt nice and cool on my tummy. Today it is starting to look better.

Last night, we went to a restaurant and I even got to have my own seat at the table. While they were ordering, I lay down on Mom's lap but eventually she put me in my seat. I lay there while they ate and watched lots of people going by. Eventually they could not resist me and gave me some of the yummy fresh baked bread to eat. Yummmm!!!
