Willie Update!
Willie has gone 2 days without a blood transfusion. However, by the time we saw him his RBC count was 15% and his gums were as pale as the first day at the hospital; so he got his 5th blood transfusion tonight. He ate twice today; once in the morning and once with us. We got him New York Strip flavored beef and gravy... and it was "Willie approved." We got to walk him again where he went #1 for about a minute.
His reaction to Papa Foster Fairy?
Even in his weaken state he recognized his smell and went directly to him although we made him hide in the corner. He had his good eye locked on him once he was carried into the room. He didn't have enough energy but we know that he would've wanted to climb and shake his tail so hard that he could've flown into his arms, if he could.
Willie will be in the hospital for a couple more days. They'll try to limit the unnecessary tests to keep our costs down but it's still worth it. They are hoping that the new medication is slowing down his body from destroying his red blood cells. We are too!
