Good Counts, Sad News

I have been away from my blogging post for many days, but I am returning.

My blood work this morning came back with good results: white blood cells are kicking ass thanks to the Neulasta, and red blood cells and platelets are on the lowish side but holding steady.

Our beloved Maddison died on Friday, which I can still scarcely believe. Her kidneys were stressed beyond their capacity by an attack of pancreatitis. We had known for while that Sudz was not long for this world, but losing Maddison was a shock, especially barely a month after Sudz died. We are sad.

Tonight I’m going to drum circle to bang on things.

RIP Maddison.

Pets are such an important part of our lives. Our dog, Simon, is our son and so much part of our family. We have 2 cats left from a litter of 4 that were born back in 1991. I love them all dearly and need to remember to cherish them daily just as I should all of my family and friends.

Love to you and Lil both!
