Day 81

Feb

Pompom was flooded by this corgi at the park this morning. Pompom has recovered from the chemotherapy. I am traveling to Japan starting tomorrow so I am worried but I think he will be fine while I am gone. His next chemo is on the 16th which will be a day after I come back from Japan. He has never had this much time between the chemotherapies.

i don't see any reason to worry but I worry. I guess that is the nature of owning an old and sick dog.

I created a count up clock since Pompom' first chemo treatment on November 14, 2017.

He is doing much better I think than 80 days ago as far as his fight with Lymphoma, Cancer.

Pompom is doing as well as we could expect. I don't see any trace of lymph nodes enlarging. That is a very good thing. But in back of your mind, you always think about what is going to happen next. I guess all we can do is t enjoy the time with Pompom.

We are here!
But Sleepy!

I don't know why but all dogs and I are very sleepy this morning. Pompom is recovering from his chemotherapy on Monday. He is starting to get some appetite back.

It is fun t have three dogs with me. I enjoy the company.

We are here!

Today marks 11 weeks since Pompom started his chemotherapy. He is doing well considering he had hard time breathing 11 weeks ago. Pompom has no appetite since yesterday. I think this is due to the chemo he received on Monday. I hope re recovered from it soon.

We are here!

Pompom is recovering from his chemotherapy. He slept very well. Tiny and Nano are with us starting last night. Pompom cough / congestion is little better with his medication. I just want Tiny and Pompom to stay healthy. Nano too, but she is still young.

What is this?

The idea is to make Pompom more comfortable by adding more moisture in the air. I bought an Aromatherapy Diffusers from Amazon ... It came today. Aroma bottles are not delivered today. I hope this will help Pompom breath better.

I am here!

Pompom's coughing problem is due to the "Tracheal Collapse". It has a lot to do with the weight gain and I think we should try to have him loose weight. I will try this. He is whining a battle with lymphoma, I will not loose him for "Tracheal Collapse".

Day 73

Jan

26

Pompom coughed and woke up only twice last night. He does not like the taste of cough medication so he does not take it. Only if he understands what I am trying to do. I only want to make him comfortable.

Other than Pompom's occasional coughs, there is no sign of lymph nodes getting enlarged. That is a good sign. Next chemo is scheduled for Monday. It is one in two weeks now.

For Pompom's cough, I ordered small humidifier ... I hope this will help him breath better. Tiny and Pompom are sleeping comfortably next to me. They make me sleepy too. Nano does not like to stay with me. Not week, Mayumi is going to travel to California, so Tiny and Nano will be staying with me.
