My Boy Is Home!

My Boy is Home! I am sooo relieved to have the surgery done and have our baby boy home. He had his kidney removed a few days ago and it is wonderful to have that behind us.
He had a carcinoma on his throat removed in May and now this was a sarcoma on his kidney so they had to take the whole kidney. This has been a very rough few months. Now we have to keep him from jumping for 3 weeks which is a huge challenge for a kitty.
The very first day home I turned around and saw him dangling from the window sill since he tried to jump up to get in the sun. So now he has to be in the huge play pen dog crate I got unless we are holding or watching him. He wants to sleep on our laps but we have to be vilent that he doesn't jump down. Each time he wakes up and wants down we have to set him down and offer him food, water and kitty box and then he gets to sleep again.
Hopefully this is the final surgery. He has had so many health problems. Hyperthyroidism which slightly damaged his heart (but caught early enough it should be able to heal), a heart murmur which he has had for many years and doesn't seem to cause any problems, bad teeth and now two kinds of cancer at once. He also has something in his lungs which hasn't caused any problems but could be cancerous. It is so hard since he is the sweetest baby and he is everything to us.

He felt so much better once we got him on the thyroid pills and he seemed to feel better after the first surgery so hopefully he will feel better this time as well.
He can't get to his stitches (the whole length of his belly) so I got kitty onsies and just tried the first one today. He doesn't seem to mind which is shocking since he hates wearing anything. Maybe he is just too tired to care.
Hopefully he is back to his old self soon! He certainly has a great appetite and eats every few hours. That is much better than a few weeks ago when the bad kidney caused a UTI and he was so sick and weak that we needed to feed him and give him water for a week with a plastic syringe.
Thanks for your thoughts!
