Scoot Scoot today...

Of course I went to see him this afternoon. He was sleeping when I got there, but I petted him and talked to him anyway. He ended up waking up and his little body began to jerk around... I suppose that's the way it's going to be for a while, though - at least until that medication gets out of his system. 😟 On the bright side he was blinking his eyes and attempting to look around (I don't know how well he could see - his eyes are still very dilated), and also he licked his nose a time or two. None of those things was he able to do yesterday, so, THANKFULLY, that was more improvement. 😀

Also, the vet mentioned putting a feeding tube in him tonight which would provide him with more nutrition than he's currently getting from his IV. I feel pretty good about that because he's looking puny. (He hasn't eaten anything since Tuesday evening and with as much as he vomited I doubt he kept much of that down.) Anyway, I petted him and loved on him until his spasms calmed and he fell back to sleep. I felt nice knowing that I may have helped soothe him and that maybe our visits really do make a difference. *sigh*

I'm a firm believer that it's the thought that counts so certainly all of that (as well as thoughts and prayers from all of my awesome friends) is helping with his recovery. Well, please don't stop yet - he's gotta hold on until Monday-ish (that's when the medication should FINALLY be wearing off)... and as for now I'm uncertain as to what happens after that. But I will definitely keep you posted.

I love you.
