What a busy & exhausting week we've had....I don't know where to begin! So much has happened since I last posted. Let's see...my last post was Wednesday & Coby was back in the hospital. That day they informed me they no longer wanted to manage Coby's case & he should be seen by a "primary" vet (such as their oncologist). To make a long story short, I ended up transferring him to another ER Wednesday afternoon. The "new" ER had agreed to work with Dr. Sisson regarding Coby's care. Coby stayed there Wednesday night. Due to disagreements between vets, a lot of back & forth, inconsistency in care...I decided to take Coby to Boston to see Dr. Sisson. Thursday morning I took Coby out of the 2nd ER here in Milwaukee & hopped a flight to Boston. I went to Angell Animal Medical Center, met with Dr. Sisson & admitted Coby to the hospital so he could be cared for by the expert Dr. Sisson. I then flew back to Milwaukee Friday early morning. So...Coby is currently in Boston & I am in Milwaukee. Coby's neutrophils are totally depleted, so he is now getting Neuprogen daily to hopefully stimulate the bone marrow. His RBC's & platelets are normal which is a good sign. Unfortunately there are many detailed medical updates I have not posted because it's been a rollercoaster for about 2 weeks now. All I can say is Coby is in the best place he can be for recovery. I don't know how long he will be at Angell's...hopefully not too long. Financially this has been one rough month! The upside to all of this is once Coby's recovered, he will no longer be receiving ANY chemo & it is highly unlikely he will have a GME relapse.
There are a lot more updates on Coby's facebook page - Care for Coby.

Oh my goodness Jamie! I don't even know what to say. I hope you are taking care of yourself, too. Sounds like Coby is getting the best care possible. He has been on quite a journey (and you, too) and hopefully he will get better soon and sounds like not have to deal with all of this anymore! I pray for a speedy recovery. I am so glad you are posting here. I have been following on facebook, but haven't been able to do so the last couple of days because I don't have a facebook account of my own and it won't let me access it, so I rely on this blog. All our best to you, Coby and Chris.
