Tuesday night

We heard back from two of the DVMs in Eden Prairie today. Max is doing okay, relaxing in his oxygen cage. He had a needle biopsy on his liver today and we are waiting on the detailed results from the slides taken today. While we wait, Max is going to be relaxing in his oxygen-rich environment. Tonight, the doctors are going to experiment with the mix a bit, to determine how Max will do without the supplemental oxygen. The hope is that Miracle Max can come home or to the local veterinarian while we wait for the comprehensive biopsy results. Obviously, we would prefer that he comes home, but we will do what is best for his health. You might say this is just a cat, but Max is a beloved member of our family. It sounds the same, but in our home, there is a big difference.

Tuesday morning

This morning, I talked to another veterinarian, the doctor who takes the overnight shift at AEVS. Miracle Max is doing okay, but still in the oxygen cage. Another DVM who is a veterinary radiology specialist is coming in this morning and will do an examination via sonogram on Max, the results of which will help us to decide on the prognosis and what to do next. Max is a member of our family and we aren't going to make any hasty decisions. We want the most complete information available to us and the best care given to our family members, human or otherwise.
