Today is a big, good day. Helen and I's 5th wedding anniversary. They have been my happiest 5 years without coincidence. And having Alina around the last 20mos. has been that much better. I feel sorry for people who can't or choose not to experience being parents.
We also have some decent news in that Montana is responding pretty well to the ampicillin the vet prescribed. She is beginning to eat the special, easy-on-the-liver canned food the vet wants us to use. Apparently the ultrasound didn't reveal any cancerous tumors or anything, so the vet thinks her liver was attacked by some kind of bacterial thing. She told Helen yesterday morning that we were lucky to have brought Montana in when we did, as her liver was completely shutting down and she probably would have died within 24hrs. This morning she is still pretty sluggish, but she's eating her ampicillin capsules and her canned food, so I am hoping her body is just trashed from the experience, and she needs to rest/sleep. But we are not yet out of the woods...
The breakfast club mtb ride left the hood at 6a and we made it up Minnie, Side Door, over down to Slalom and then the Upper Flume back down. The bike feels incredible under my legs, I can't wait for Wednesday.
