Poor Babies.. When they get better kisses to them both..

I bought a heating pad and am going to stick it underneath in case some of the quilling-up is due to chilliness.

I forgot to mention that the nebulizing vapors are cold. I usually put a heating pad under the chamber.

Hey, I know I'm late! I've talked to Melissa via email about mrsa. Just wanted to point out that animals or people just carry this on their skin and usually don't get infected. Generally when immune systems are down you can get it more easily. As both Thistle and I know. It is a lot more common than people realize, like staph it just hangs out on your skin usually harmlessly. It's horrible so I hope you've managed to keep it at bay.

Tex gets to go to see the vet today to get a culture done. We're hoping he's in the clear and we can start snuggling with him again.

Happiness

While we were at the vet to have Satin's drainage tube removed, we got results back from Tex's culture (Satin's too... but I posted that under her lump thread).

Best news in a long time: no growth. NO MRSA. Little boy is bacteria free! Tonight, I get to pick him up with my hands. HANDS!!! I'm going to feel his soft fuzzy belly, and rifle though his beautiful quills, and (pending his cooperation) touch him on his pink and brown nose!!!!!

Me... without gloves... holding my boy

There are not enough emoticons available to handle this situation.

Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy​

It's like rediscovering hedgies over here.

Last night I learned (again) how much sharper Tex is than Satin. How soft and warm their bellies are. The feel of their noses. Their soft pink tails. How they move. And... oh... their soft warm little pudgy footsies. Looove the pink widdle feet.

My babies

This morning I re-discovered how much Tex likes the bath. Walking to the sink = ball. Running water = unball and let me in! Of course, until the moment he wants out (scramble, scramble, fuff at mommy).

I'm just about to rediscover my little buddies again!

Yippee!!! It's HEDGIE-TIME!!!

Oh, Melissa!

You've brought tears to my eyes! I can feel exactly how much you love these little babies of yours.

Congrats! So happy for you all!
