Sammy's condition continues to be the same...she's not ready to leave us yet!

Tomorrow, I have a follow up appointment for my Bella's who has CT & her recent ear infection so, we decided to bring Sammy in, too. She has an appointment on the 30th but, we'd really like to see what her blood counts really are.

Both my son & I would just like to know for sure if her numbers are really coming up or if our eyes are just fooling us into "thinking" we're seeing improvements when we're not.

We definitely know for sure the eating is an improvement so, that's real and she's getting more strength to have some interest in where we are.

Yesterday, we brought her out to my parents home for a family farewell for my daughter & grandkiddies who were getting ready to fly home and although she slept most of the day...she did get up to eat & drink & smell her cousin, Mimi (my youngest son's LH Mini Dachshund). Normally on drives, she would drool excessively (ick!) but, now she lays in her Snoozer carseat zonked out & dry around the chomps for the entire trip of about an hour.

Will update tomorrow when we get some new numbers to report...crossing our fingers for an improvement!

PS. I will also check on the "Epogen" injections as suggested earlier by PennysMum...Thank you for that suggestion, too!
