Continue to lead a normal life, my dear Felix

Today mark the first anniversary of Felix's third operation. 

Compared to the past years, last year could generally be described as fairly stable and peaceful, though the initial recovery process was comparable to walking on the tightrope. Felix's allergy to Penicillin made him being left with the choice of a "less than ideal drug" and he also started to take steroid for life. 

Luckily, under the diligent care and guidance of Dr Vera and Dr Tint, Felix was on the right path and his medication is being gradually reduced to the "minimal level". So far, he is eating well and is fairly heavy at 5.7kg (5.1kg in 6/22) - his new life record!

Does he look like a seal?

One thing that Felix never missed out is his tea time ....

From his recent photos and seeing the pattern of the fur on his front paws, made us very happy. We have not seen such beautiful sights for ages. Everyone worked hard to enable him to stay out of the hospital, giving time to allow his fur to grow back! The fur in the chest would take longer, as he revisits the vet on a bimonthly basis, with hope to soon extend it to quarterly.

He still continue with his weekly acupuncture as his "chi" is still weak. One of our major daily task is to pat his back (near the kidney area) to help improve the circulation. Normally, we would do this exercise twice daily, each time patting around 250 times. Betty also needs this exercise, so ideally, they both receive it at the same time.

When comes to playing games, Felix used to like laser pen, but not so since we call him "gor gor 哥哥 (elder brother). We suspect that with this new role as Stella's mentor, he needs to carry a fairly stern image?!

Overall, we are truly thankful for the current status quo and sincerely hope that it can continue forever!

Thanks be to God!
