Wordy Wednesday
We are breaking our silence today to send out a special news bulletin!
Fiona visited Dr. Neel yesterday to have her PCV (packed cell volume) and weight checked.
If you don’t recall, Fiona had an injection last week with medication (Darbepoetin Alfa) provided by Mom Ellen (15AndMeowing) to help her anemia. Her PCV last week was 17. Her current PCV is 22.5. Thus, the happy dance!
She also maintained her weight of 5.9 pounds. We hate that her weight is so low, but pleased it didn’t drop additionally this week.
She’ll return to see Dr. Neel again next Tuesday for another PCV check and possible injection. We’ll let you know how that goes.
Please keep Fiona in your prayers. And please, please add our best pal, Sammy (onespoiledcat), to your prayers and send him some POTP. He spent Tuesday night in the hospital getting IV fluids and some other treatments. Sammy has hyperthyroidism and kidney problems. We love him so much. We know many of you do as well so hope you’ll share.
Please feel free to use our graphic on your blog.
Tomorrow will be an extra special Thanksgiving post. We know everyone will be busy with family, but please drop in if you can find a few minutes.
Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Continued prayers and paw pats for Fiona and Sammy.
I’m glad you’ve had some good news and I hope it only gets better!
That is wonderful news!! Keeping you in our prayers!!
Fiona, I am happy that you maintained that weight. My Robin went through tines like yours and she got to 5 pounds. I was grateful for that too. She stayed there. Love and more love too you loved girl. And mom and I did not know about Sammy. I go there most days but I missed that somehow. I am terribly sad about his illness.
Oh Fiona, I am so glad you are doing better!! You are a fighter for sure! But I am so sad that Sammy has been in the hospital. I’ve been so out of touch *glares at Staff* I have grabbed the picture and will go check on him! xxxx
Oh that’s great news about Fiona! We purr that the medicine continues to help…and she maintains her weight. Wally knows all too well about how important your weight is.
We send a ton of purrs to Sammy and hope he feels better soon.
Fiona, we are so happy for the good news. We know that you are a fighter and you will stay strong. Thanks for letting us know about Sammy. He is such a cool cat and we hope he can get things settled and start improving. Isn’t it great that we have good friends in the blog world to help us pray?

Praying for all of your kitties today.
We’re doing the happy dance with you! Hooray, Fiona! And of course we’re still sending you lots and lots of purrs and prayers, and we’re adding plenty for Sammy as well. We will indeed stop by tomorrow to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!
I hope Fiona and Sammy get better soon. Sending prayers for both!
What wonderful news! Hurray for Fiona. We are sending good thoughts to Sammy, too.
Glad to hear your improved numbers, Fiona. Good girl!!! We are keeping our paws crossed for you!!!
We are so happy about Fiona’s numbers…..she’s a fighter and is so very brave. Thank you for the sweet badge for Sam. We love you all so much……
Hugs, Pam (and Sam)
We are so glad the medicine worked for Fiona and her numbers improved. We are joining your happy dance. Healing purrs for Fiona and Sammy.
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. The Mom is going to see her Mom, so it will be Friday before we can visit again.
That is great that Fiona’s numbers rose and her weight remained steady! I’m continuing to purr LOTS for her!
What good news Fiona! We hope the good news continues with each vet visit. Hugs.
I’m so glad that Fiona’s numbers are so much better and I hope it continues. She and Sammy will be in my prayers. It is so hard to see our babies sick.
