On the upswing

Sasha is a little more alert every day. Her last blood count showed that her system is making more blood cells, so even though she is still pretty weak, we are hopeful she is on the permanent road to recovery!

Sasha is so weak that she has a hard time keeping her eyes open

We have  been keeping her under very close surveillance.  I have her next to me almost every moment of the day, so that I can monitor every heavy breath, every head turn, every little paw twitch.

Her appetite is not the greatest, and she'll refuse foods that normally she likes.  We've discovered that she cannot turn down bread with cream, however.  Needless to say, she has been getting quite a bit of it.
