Thanks, Chirley, for the update. I am very glad to hear from you and to hear you have an appt with your hematologist. I am very sorry about the neurological issues.

I am so so happy about your pups check up!!

I heard you are having a very hot summer.

Bruce is feeling much better since the last transfusion. His copper results finally came back from early January. It was at 61 (-10 from normal) -- it has been lower, so for now he is taking an oral copper sulfate supplement and calling it good. And he is still tolerating the Exjade.

Hugs to you,
