Daisy update:
Vet called yesterday.
Her thyroid levels are normal, kidneys stable, other blood work otherwise unchanged. She recommended decreasing the prednisone since she lost so much weight, and trying an appetite stimulant.
The vet didn't mention it, but I don't think I want to do a lymphoma work up. The definitive diagnosis would be a biopsy, and I don't want to put her through an invasive procedure. Plus I don't know if she'd be able to tolerate chemo due to kidney disease and associated anemia. Well, she's eleven years old, she's had nine good years with us, we'll do our best to take care of her. Today Dave gave her some beef schawarma. No, our cats aren't spoiled :)

Happier stuff: going on adventures with Andy since the weather has been so warm. Last night we walked to Frozen Hoagies. They make ice cream sandwiches with freshly baked cookies. They're huge so I normally get the half sandwich. This afternoon we went to the park down the street. Tried the slide, which he didn't like, but he loved playing ball with a little girl. Our trip was cut short by rain. Tonight we took a family grocery store trip. He was fascinated by all the food, and the cashier was very friendly with him :)
I also finally got an insulated food container for lunch at day care. I guess I've been putting if off because heating and cutting up food is just one more chore for the morning.
I've felt like garbage all day. Tired, grumpy, headachy. Not sure if I had too much wine last night or if something else is going on. I had to force myself to make that playground trip but I didn't want yet another weekend of sitting around doing nothing.
