debboamerikNikki is doing better. They don't think it's cancer. They think it's inflammatory laryngitis. When we saw her tonight she was ALL OVER US. Leaving her was most incredibly hard, but she can't come home until she can eat and drink on her own. She can purr audibly again! (She was trying yesterday but clearly not getting enough air to actually purr.)
Vince is getting a biopsy tomorrow, rather than a week from tomorrow. This means that he will have results sooner (they're trying to figure out where it is and EXACTLY what kind it is), which means that the doctors will know what they're dealing with sooner. My cousin Piper, who is a pediatric oncologist (and therefore knows about cancer), has recommended a doctor and is making sure he's getting the right treatment. And his girlfriend is coming in to town this week (she's living in Oregon, he's in California) to offer support.
Back to the ol' routine tomorrow. Might even have a Nikki Giovanni back tomorrow night. I am so relieved. I feel like I've lost 50 years.
