Linda,

I’m so sorry you’re going through this again.
I’m praying for you and your precious Sadie.

Love, Susie

Hi all. Just an update. Sadie’s PCV dropped again. She was stable for the day, but this evening eent from 19 (after thrsnsfusion) back to 16. She is receiving another transfusion as I write. I am here with her, will not leave.

They let me go back to see her. She was so happy and thought she should just jump into my arms, IV and all. No, no, Ms. Sadie.

We had a good visit, gave her my husband’s (worn) t-shirt, smooches and pep talk. They told me how good she is and how quiet, well mannered. So, of course, as I said ‘see ya in a bit’ and walked out she began to howl like a hound dog. Oops.

Please keep my precious girl in your thoughts. We’re going upward and forward, staying positive. I will keep you updated.

Much love, Linda and Sadie

Hi all. We’re home!!! Thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and ‘willing’ her well!

After the 2nd transfusion (both cross matched, packed red blood cells – I was wrong about the one whole blood) she went up to 30% and then down to 25% over night (thank you Sherna and Vally for reminding me that this is to be expected!) and 24% at 5AM this morning. She stayed at 24% and this afternoon they let her come home. Home, with EIGHT prescriptions!!! One needing a compound pharmacy (which just happens, one is close by, thank goodness). We are not out of the woods, but we see a clearing. We’ll go with that.

It seems she has a heart murmer, some liver mucus, both being addressed. Overall, she seems good. Her ultrasound and chest x-Ray were insignificant. We are waiting on the thyroid test and urine culture, but they think what could have been the trigger was an aggressive UTI, which is absolutely being addressed.

But she seems good – the little stinker jumped up on the bench and then the bed, although I tried to stop her. She was winded, scared me silly. Now she’s snoozing next to her daddy and me. Glory be. 😊

As I read about Suba and Poppy, crying, I am feeling so very fortunate that Sadie has been given this chance. She IS a fighter and I am so very proud of her. Relapse three – NO MORE sweet girl…..

Again, wonderful friends, thank you. Please know too, that Dr. Dodds (via my dear friend Sherna) helped so much all along the way by looking over the prospective treatment and approving. And Vally – do you EVER sleep? Thank you is not enough. Just one more thing, Vally, we will need another medicine chart. A crammed one, I fear. 😉

We’ll do another PCV tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

With all our love and gratitude,

Linda and Sadie

Of course I’d love to do a new crammed chart for you. Cramming is my specialty. Send the list to me. And of course I sleep, whenever Bingo isn’t re-arranging the blankets or trying to toss the pillow off the bed because he doesn’t like the colour of it or their too soft on his masculine toosh, or heavon forbid I try and cover him with his blanket.

Miss Sadie, as mum said, No More Please. Enough special attention.

Fingers and absolutely everything else crossed for the next PCV. I suggest withholding water for a good result – ONLY KIDDING!!!

Love Vally & Bingo
