Hi everybody, it's mes, Giovanni!
Maybe you remember this post where mes told you about Mama's tummy issues and foot and asked for purrs and prayers for her?
Well, hers foot is pretty much back to normal finally!
AND the doctors think they figured out what be wrong with Mama's tummy! It seems to have been a two-fold problem, Mama told me. The severe heartburn hers was having was actually being caused by the prednisone hers was taking. Hers switched back to hydrocortisone (yes, it comes in a pill!), and about a week later, hers heartburn was nearly gone! Hers is very happy to not have heartburn everyday nows!!
Mama also tested positive for something called Helicobacter pylori (H pylor). Many humans have this bacteria in their tummies and never know it because it doesn't usually cause symptoms. Mama is just one of the lucky ones, MOL. That is what caused Mama's tummy ulcer.
Hers is now on a bunch of antibiotics and acid reducers for de next two weeks. One of de antibiotics they has hers on makes her feel bad, so hers hopes the two weeks go fast. After de meds, they wait for two months and then test Mama again. Sometimes de infection requires multiple rounds of treatment. Mama hopes she gets lucky and it will all be gone after one round!
In any case, we is quite thankful that Mama has a good doctor who listens to hers and investigates when there be a problem.
Mes and Tylan has been giving hers purr therapy. We is sure hers will be back to new soon.
What do you be thankful for today?
