Tough treatment today

We brought Sam to the hospital early this AM.  She will be receiving her second Chemo treatment today.  We have been informed that this round will be tough.  She will be receiving IV fluids all day, and the Chemo administered later in the day.  Then, I will pick her up this evening.  This round is especially tough on the bladder cells.  We could experience blood in her urine.  Which is part of what can happen with this administration.  The Chemo attacks the cells in  the bladder.  Attempting to kill them off.  It is my understanding that bladder cells also regenerate fast, which is what may cause the blood.

I am pretty sad for her today.  Making it somewhat tough to concentrate, but I am getting through the day as best I can.  I find comfort that she is in good hands.  Her sister Taz is here in the house.  Usually parked under a coffee table as a make-shift dog house.  She likes to hide out most days.  Taz has received more then her share of hugs today.  Not that there is ever a limit on the amount of hugs a person can give a Corgi. Grin.
Sams day bed is here beside my desk... with no Sam to make use of it.

Hopefully I get a call to come pick up Sam, sooner then later.  I think I will leave Taz at home when I go to get Sam.  Taz is usually the Corgi that like to get everyone all riled up.  Sam will need some quiet.
Leslie and I will be taking turns all night taking her outside for a potty.  We will be monitoring her close over the next few days and nights.
