Thanks Square Enix

I originally didn't want to post this because I didn't want to make anyone sad but its feels wrong not to.

We had to say goodbye to Isaac last month. His cancer had come back in 5 different forms. Treatment would have been painful and invasive, so we opted to keep him as comfortable as possible for as long as we could. We got a year longer with him than the vets expected with pain management, but eventually it got to the point where we knew it was time. My sister opted to end his pain peacefully rather than let him suffer.

He would not have made it as long as he did without the help you all provided. He was able to get treatment that gave him 3 more years with us. I really can't thank you all enough- the effect your kindness had on my family is immeasurable. Thank you for caring about our special little boy, and helping him live as long and as happy as he did.

Dook in Peace, sweet boy, you were loved by more people than you could ever know.

Isaac is not doing good. He was recovering so well from his thymus surgery last year, until last Wednesday, when he was rushed to the emergency veterinary hospital with lethargy and no appetite. Through X-rays and blood work they found that he had a mass in his intestines that ruptured and was septic. He had emergency surgery to repair his intestines and flush out the infection. But they found more tumors, both in his intestines and on other organs. They ended up having to remove 3 inches from his colon. He's stitched up (again) and came home the following Friday, but we got the biopsy results yesterday.

Three different cancers, including lymphoma. He didn't have lymphoma last year, he only had the thymoma that was completely cured. So this hit hard and fast and with little warning. His best option is chemotherapy, and we're not sure how long his fragile little body could handle it.

There's another gofundme, but I feel extremely guilty asking for more money, especially after how much you all helped last year, as well as how much the goal is. I can send the link in private asks for those who don't mind not being anonymous, but please don't feel pressured to. For now, please keep him in your thoughts (and prayers if you're religious). I might post the link if none of my sisters' posts gain any traction. But again, please don't feel obligated.

January 4th, look at how little fur he has on his tail

Vs. a few days ago (it’s blurry and hard to see bc he has SO MUCH MORE ENERGY AND WONT SIT STILL)

We’re super proud of our special baby boy :’)

He also has a little brother now! My sister adopted this lil boy from a shelter and named him Ivan to go with the “I” name theme

He’s 2 years old so he’s older than Isabella, but he’s been here since August. He’s the cuddliest little baby too 😭

Twitter also removed the feature I used to save the videos and now I won’t be able to find them again because most of them are 2+ years old and I’m disgustingly active on Twitter (posting other game screenshots and videos mostly)

We had a “party” to celebrate baby boy being cancer free :) just those of us that live here though due to the virus. He can’t have the cake but we’re expecting a package with presents for him soon! ❤️

Isaac is cancer free. There is no tumor.
