Sir Noggin traveled (with Greta) to Cornell today, where they met Dr. Dewey. After meeting a bunch of delightful veterinary students & the other vets, they talked about treatment plans for Sir Noggin.

As the plan currently stands, Sir Noggin will have blood work, CT scans, and his surgery on Wednesday. At this point, there's a good chance Sir Noggin will not need the shunt, as it seems he may not actually be dealing with hydrocephalus. The team will remove his encephalocele and protect his brain with a custom titanium plate. Hopefully, this will allow Sir Noggin to continue to lead a normal, happy life. He's doing well now, staying in ICU and probably meowing his heart out. If all goes well, he'll be home some time next week.

We miss him! Coming home to an empty hallway was hard enough. Waking up without my face being licked as soon as the alarm clock goes off will be a real challenge.

Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers. Sir Noggin is really lucky to have such a big family to look after him. Love to you all.
