Unlove What a Bittersweet week...Cushing's disease??

At Valentino's pre-dental cleaning appointment, the Dr. ran the prep blood work and a urine test only for both to come back with less than stellar results. At first they thought he had possible kidney stones and hypothyroidism. So, I preceded to panic and beat myself up about not seeing any symptoms while my beautiful boy is walking around sick...

Then, a second round of more detailed testing shows no kidney problems, but an enlarged liver...so possible cushing's disease. I have been researching anything I can find and feel so helpless. We have an abdominal ultrasound scheduled for him on tuesday afternoon and I am worried sick.

Just as I sit here and think about it, my eyes well up with tears and I cannot imagine my poor little angel having to go through this. Anyone here have any experience with this??? I would love to hear some encouraging news...
