A Slight Slide....

"Is it really 7 o'clock?"
Not writing so much lately, but there has been a tiny set-back. Wednesday's appointment with Dr. Martin included a blood draw - Tashie has become anaemic yet again, and the question is, why? and the course of action is, transfusions. So today, Thursday, we got up at 6:30 this morning to get to Bend for an 8:30 appointment for her to get transfused with lots of healthy red blood cells. You all know that Tash' 6:30 AM is, to most of us, comparable to our 1:00 AM. But she was a cheerful trooper, as you can see in this photo. We were at the hospital until after four. She had been given Benadryl to reduce the chance of an allergic reaction, and it made her groggy and really really sleepy.
We are home now, and she is dozing on the sofa after having watched Nature's "India's Wandering Lions"with the kitties. The boys were glued to the screen as they watched their ancestral tribes in action.
So we're glad to be snug at home, and tomorrow, once the Benadryl wears off, Tashie will be feeling lots more energetic.
