Eddy's home!  We brought him home yesterday afternoon.

My 92yo neighbor had left a msg yesterday as she was concerned for Eddy.  When I told her Eddy's home, she proudly announced to me that it was her prayer that brought him home.  As we know it was all of your prayers, positive thoughts and good wishes that helped to bring Eddy home.  For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Tufts said Eddy was not a "textbook case".  He has Addison's and cancer.  There's a tumor encroaching on a major blood vessel leading from his heart to his stomach.  Also, there's a mass on his spine, past from where his previous spine surgery was,  Tufts thinks, though not sure, that this is also a tumor.  This mass is what's preventing him from walking; perhaps if this is something other than a tumor it might go away and Eddy will be able to walk again (the odds are not in our favor).  Unfortunately surgery is not an option as quite possibly he could bleed out.

So right now the focus is keeping Eddy as comfortable as possible in the coming weeks.  If all goes well, I will have to contact them for Eddy's next DOCP injection in the coming month,  (I haven't yet asked what that is.)

Right now my beautiful boy is doing well, ruling the roost, and getting lots of love, hugs and kisses.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, kindness and love.
