Please help save Sydney's life!

I just caught up on this thread and I am sooo praying for sydney. I cried almost the whole way through, putting myself in your place and jasper in sydney's. We are getting ready to buy a house, so our money situation isn't the best right now, but I am going to talk to my husband about using some of our tithe to send for sydney's treatments. I think that it is ok to use God's money to help God's creatures that can't help themselves. In the meantime, you will be in our prayers nightly!

Update on my baby Sydney! ok, so she had the harshest chemo admin with the Doxorubicin this morning. The vet said that Sydney's CBC's have dropped slightly, but that she was given an iron shot to counteract this. Otherwise the vet said her liver and kidney values where all in normal levels. The low iron levels completely explains why she wasn't acting too well yesterday, because low iron makes you feel tired. The vet had also given me Pepsid to help make sure Sydney's tummy is more soothed, so that she keeps up her good appetite. Basically the vet said that we will keep a close eye on Sydney's CBC levels (if they drop below 20 she will need to get a epigen shot - she is currently at 24 and 25-26 is normal). Hopefully the shot of iron will do the trick. The nice thing is she doesn't have to go back for her next chemo admin until the Friday after next - this should give her lots of time to spend with me and to rest. Please guys keep her in your prayers, I truly feel they are working! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the update! I've been checking back and have been concerned since you hadn't posted anything. I'm glad to hear that she was able to get her treatment and that her levels are doing well. Please keep us posted. Don't forget to come around and post some even though she won't have another treatment for quite awhile.

More prayers for Sydney! Good news - keep it up, little one!

Oh, I will definitely check back in, I like to visit this site often and read everyone else's stories as well. I promise to post her progress before then :-D

We haven't forgotten about Sydney or you, Kat, and we pray for you both all the time. We're hopeful that this time off from her next chemo treatment will be pleasant and enjoyable. You're doing such a great job at momming.

Glad to hear that Sydney continues to do well. I'm glad the vet gave her an injection for the iron so she'll have more energy.

Big hugs and gentle pets for Sydney (and big hugs to you too!)
