Update on our 4-legged boys...

A few people have wondered how Maverick and Graham were doing (thank you for asking!) so I thought I would give you all an update. Besides adjusting emotionally to a toddler running around them, they are both physically still hanging on which we are so happy about! Maverick still has his good days and bad days and you can definitely tell some changes in his physical appearance since being diagnosed with cancer, but he still perks up anytime he hears the words, "Ball", "Walk", or "Food". Graham is now on his fourth week of chemotherapy. He was not himself and was quite sick for about a week but he is definitely back to acting like himself despite the shaved patches on his legs which is where his weekly shots are given. He is halfway through his chemotherapy treatments and the doctor feels as though his body is responding well and that his lymph nodes have been going down. However, we are not out of the woods yet. We still have about 4 more weeks left and we are still hoping and praying. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful man who loves my 'boys' as much as I do. We both cannot imagine life without them and feel very blessed to have them in our lives. We also feel very blessed to have such an amazing vet and I am happy that we are back in KC where they are being treated. We shall see how things go though, it is a day by day process of monitoring and giving them both several different medications! As much medicine as they have been on, we have felt like a pet pharmacy! Please continue to keep them both in your prayers.
