12 is such a beautiful number...

Cerri's blood count is up to about 12% (from 5%), which is exactly what we've been hoping/waiting for. She still needs the oxygen tank, but hopefully she'll be able to keep going without anymore transfusions. According to the vet, if it gets up to around 18%, she'll be able to come home

That's wonderful. And I can't believe I forgot to ask when we talked on the phone today. I'd been thinking about it probably twenty minutes before I called you. I'm so happy for you (and her, of course, but she's not really my close friend). Praying for a continued improvement!

Thanks so much. And thanks for being there on Friday....

I was going to mention it, but somehow I spaced trying to remember what the hell my schedule is right now.

We visited her this evening, and she was off the oxygen and doing fine. It's still not certain, and she's going to need a lot of care, but ... I think she might actually get better. We're keeping our fingers crossed.

What are freaks for..?.. friends! Friends! *glares at fingers* You were supposed to type "friends"!

automatic schedule mode. the rest of the brain shuts down in self defense. nodnod. keeps us from screaming in agony while scheduling.

That's great. I hope she's back to normal and home soon. Then I will come over and squish her, then scold her for scaring you.

Haha, that's brilliant. They're very similar words, both in spelling and in meaning.

It's quite true. It's one of those things that seems maladaptive until you consider the alternative.

Here's hoping.
