Rollercoaster of Emotions

In late May, Keith and I noticed that Lila's back foot was pink. I washed her foot hoping that maybe it would help. Unfortunately, it just worsened as the days went by. So we took her into the vet expecting the worst. I was certain he was going to say that the cancer has traveled to her other foot. To my surprise, it was just a yeast infection in her foot most likely due to allergies. The vet wrote her a prescription for steroids and we thought everything was going to be fine and dandy. About four days later, we woke up to her peeing on the bedroom floor. Lila hasn't done that since she was puppy so I we knew something was wrong. Then she probably went to the bathroom about 30 other times that day. She was also peeing out blood. Poor Lila! So we made an appointment with the vet that day and we were told that most likely it was a bladder infection, but a urinalysis was taken just in case. So she very soon after her first dose of medication she wasn't having any potty problems, so again I thought we were golden. Then the I get a call today that she needs blood work done ASAP because she could possibly have cancer or auto immune disease. I had to bring her in as soon as I got home today. After that phone call I just stood in my kitchen and began to cry. I prayed to god that Lila's blood work would be positive. Thank you god for my gift. Tests turned out to be okay. What a rollercoaster! I try not to get so emotional, but she just means so much to me. She brightens my days and is so deserving of a good life. I feel so fortunate that she has been with us for over 7 months after her diagnosis. I honestly never thought she would make it this far. She is full of life and I just hope she continues to be her crazy, lovable self.
