Chewie's immune system suppressing

It finally seems like Chewie is responding to the drugs (prednisone and azathioprine). Her counts are up to 20% (from 15%)! This is awesome news! The doctor is now weaning her off of the oxygen that she was put on yesterday and is getting rid of the antibiotics that she is on. She doesn't need them because she is primary IMHA.. there is no secondary infection causing her condition.

The doctor told me a couple of days ago, that if Chewie stabilizes at 17%, it would be okay for us to take her home. Hopefully this 20% stays around for a day so we can bring her home. The hope meter is at a 9 out 10 right now, I will be devastated if she plunges again.. come on Chewie!
