Riley: Good News

You cannot pill me, monkey!

You cannot pill me, monkey!

Pretty good results for Riley with his most recent blood test: the new tuna flavor prednisolone is fun and tasty for him, so he’s put on weight (YAY!!!). The break from his twice monthly chemotherapy 2 weeks ago allowed him to increase red blood cells, so he’s had lots of energy. Back on chemo this week, he’s doing well. Yay!

Now if only it weren’t so hard to pill him…
