An Update on Klee, Day 6, Progress and Gratitude

Hi, awesome humans.

I wanted to share some updates on Klee’s health, her progress, and our plans moving forward. The last couple of days have been a whirlwind, but we’re finally starting to see some light at the end of this tunnel.

Last night, Klee had her first full night of uninterrupted sleep since this all began. That, in itself, was a huge relief. Yesterday, we received the rest of the test results back. Thankfully, nothing serious has shown up, which is an enormous weight off our shoulders. They started her on a new medication yesterday, and it seems to be working. She’s been doing well enough that, if things continue to improve, she’ll be coming home tomorrow night!

We’re both excited about the idea of having her back home, though we know the road to recovery isn’t over yet. Klee still has some pain flare-ups and isn’t fully out of the woods. We have appointments scheduled with specialists to get to the bottom of it, but for now, her appetite is back, her spirits are lifted, and she’s looking much healthier than she has in the past week.

Preparing for Klee’s Homecoming

After spending the last few days at the hospital, I decided to head home this afternoon. Today, I’ve been busy getting everything ready for her return. I picked up her medications, stocked the fridge with the appropriate foods, and prepped the house to make sure it’s a cozy, healing space for her. Knowing she’ll be coming home soon has given me a renewed sense of hope and excitement.

Of course, life threw a little curveball my way during all this. On my way home, a deer jumped out in front of the car. I couldn’t completely avoid it, so the car has some damage, and unfortunately, I’m not sure what happened to the deer. It wasn’t the most pleasant moment, but right now, my focus is on Klee and her recovery. Everything else can wait.

A Little Bit of Bright News

On a positive note, the Me and It Creatures calendars arrived today as I was getting things ready, and they look amazing! For those of you who pre-ordered, I’ll start shipping them out next week once Klee is settled in at home. There are still some available and I am trash at promoting anything right now, so if you want a happy “Me and It” calendar, I have some I’ll be shipping out next week.

Some of you showed your support by ordering something from us and kindly will wait until next year for us to mail it out. Thank you for that. If you purchased something from us, I’ll be reaching out soon (within the next couple weeks) with a plan for when those will be created and sent out. Your patience and understanding mean so much to us and we appreciate you so much.

Once again, I want to thank everyone who has supported us—whether through donations, ordering something, love, or kind messages. You’ve helped us navigate an incredibly challenging time, and your kindness will never be forgotten.

Endless Gratitude

You have been following our updates and sending love, I can’t thank you enough. Your support has been our anchor during this difficult time. To those of you who sent financial help, words cannot express how deeply grateful we are. Truly, I don’t know how we would have made it through this past week—and the months ahead (which are looking more doable)—without your generosity.

Because of you, we’re close enough to our financial goal to focus fully on Klee’s healing and health without the added stress of financial disaster looming. Stress is the last thing I want for her right now, so thank you for giving us this incredible gift of peace. You have no idea how much this means to me. To everyone who donated, I’ll be reaching out over the next couple of months with a special gift to express my gratitude (I know you will say I don’t need to, but I want to).

Here’s to Klee’s continued healing, a brighter day tomorrow, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this amazing community.

With love,
Rafi
