BLOTCH UPDATE 11/3/04
We had to head home from our Fall Foliage 2004 Trip about two weeks early because we learned our kitty is very ill.
Update 11/3/04: Blotch has surgery yesterday afternoon and they found a growth in his upper sinuses. It is either a fungus or a tumor. A fungus might be treatable depending on how bad it is. A tumor would be treatable, but the treatment would only cause extensive and prolonged suffering for Blotch and would likely not cure him. We won’t know for 5-7 days what it is. He’s home now and very comfy, sleeping off the anesthesia in Ali’s room with her right next to him doing her school work. She’s a good nurse. 
We still have some photos to post from the trip and will do that in the next few days.
The snows will be coming soon here in Maine and we’ll be winterizing the RV this week in preparation. We’ve already had several nights below freezing. Our next trek will be around Easter.
