Daisy received a blood transfusion today due to bleeding. Daisy also had diarrhea (that dreadful side effect that she's been able to avoid up until now). Dr. Warry assured me that blood transfusions were normal and that every dog who has received a BMT has had them. The new blood serves to "jumpstart" her platelets and white blood cells. I know that Daisy has a 3-5 day period to get her platelets and neutrophil counts up so I'm not too worried ....yet. Again I have learned throughout this time period that worry, fear, anxiety, hysteria etc. is not helpful to Daisy's healing process so.........I will just say "no" to feeding any of those emotions and instead.............off to yoga to do a visualization for my little baby. Since the goal was to jumpstart Daisy's platelets and neutrophils it only made sense to visualize electrical currents traversing through her body. I felt rejuvenated afterwards. Let's hope she felt something.
