The last week has been very difficult. Any progress Elliott's made has been so small, it's been hard to tell if he's getting better. I gave the vet an update yesterday and he reassured me that all I told him were good signs and that getting over this takes a long time.

The vet also suggested, in addition to all the other meds I'm giving Elliott, that I should give him a little Metamucil. Elliott is now my grandmother.

For the most part, he's stayed exclusive in the bathroom. Then last night, this happen.

i should be sleeping but was woken by elliott meowing. he was sitting beside my bed. he hasn't walked around much since all this started so this was kind of a surprise. i don't want to put him on my bed because he might try to jump down & he's too weak for that. so i put one of his beds beside mine and he curled up in it.

very slowly he's getting better. tonight was a good night.

Of course, when I woke up I discovered he peed in the bed, but I'll still leave this in the win column.
