Our day began, officially, at about 5:30 AM, when we left Southeastern
Massachusetts for the trip to Boston. This can take from 45 minutes to two
hours, if the traffic is heavy. It only took an hour to drive there this
morning, to Angell Memorial Animal Hospital, the place where miracles occur.
Moses' admission time, for the day, was at 7AM.
Our early arrival gave me time to carry the huge plush stuffed animal
Berner, which Sandie H. from W. Virginia sent me, into the hospital, as this
was always intended as a present for Moses' internal medicine specialist.
Thank you Sandie; he was delighted!
I left Angell with a heart heavy with worry and a lonely spirit as Moses
would spend the usual 12 hours there for his second round of chemotherapy
for osteosarcoma, to which he lost a leg. They treat Moses like the prince
he will always be!
The doctors always ask me to bring a urine sample from Moses so that they
can perform a renal profile. Too, they do blood work on a STAT basis.
Moses' blood work was fine; WHEW! Moses spends the day in the Critical Care
Unit where he receives his Cisplatin and Adriamycin and fluids and other
medications and he also received Torbugesic today.
When I arrive to pick up Moses, at about 7PM, and I see the nurse walking
him down the corridor toward me, my heart grows wings; I bend over to hug
him and he leans into me and wags his tail with vigor and joy and my spirit
sings.
