Daisy on Skype

I was soooo excited to have a Skype date with Daisy.  Dr. Warry suited up in her scrubs and gloves to bring Daisy to our Skype date.  Dr. Warry is truly one of the kindest people you will ever meet and it was sweet to watch Daisy give her kisses. However I don't think I will do it again.  I actually cut the skype date short.   I cried...not immediately but shortly thereafter.  Maybe it was the shock of seeing her weak when I've gotten so used to seeing her as "healthy" and "vibrant" in my healing meditations.
Or maybe it was the fact that she seemed so close and yet so far away....I just wanted to hug her and kiss her and talk to her (I didn't talk to her at all because I didn't want her to get excited or worse yet get up on the table and start looking around for me).  I guess setting a Skype date during the engraftment period wasn't the best timing.  For anyone else who chooses this treatment for their dog I would suggest setting a Skype date when your dog is not in the I.C.U.  Probably the best bet is to schedule it the day after you get a very positive update that your dog is hugging people and wagging his/her tail.


Daisy's neutrophils, and platelets rose today however Dr. Warry says that it is difficult to tell whether they are "Daisy's" blood cells or the donors blood cells.  She said that they should know more by tomorrow.
