Day two

Houston at the hospital when we visited

The Dr called me this morning and said Houston's bloods were OK, except for some unusual kidney function. So pretty much what we expected. I thought this was good news.

She then informed me that the lump they had found the night before was still in the same spot, the same size and density. They wanted to go ahead with the ultrasound. She offered the ultrasound at a reduced cost (half price) and I gave them the go ahead (though I would have regardless of cost.)

After the ultrasound she called me again and said that it looks like the lump is a tumor.

It also looked like his kidneys were bigger and distorted than they were last year. She thinks he has cancer in there too.

They took some cells off the tumor and kidneys during the ultrasound and we will get the results from that tomorrow.

Chris and I visited him after his ultrasound and he was looking a lot better, but he was happy to just sit in his cage.

I spent the entire afternoon in a daze, crying and stressed. I am so worried about him, and also how I am going to deal if we have to say goodbye to our baby.
