Abby: Post-Endoscopy Day 5

Abby started fine today, but her condition seemed to deteriorate from evening onwards. She puked a bit of her dinner, refused water - which is so unlike her - and was generally lethargic.

Unsure if the pain had returned or if she is feeling nauseous, I decided to give her a jab so that she feels more comfortable. And the session turned out to be a heart-stopping episode. Somehow a "vaccuum" developed in the syringe and when I released the pressure, her blood was drawn back into the syringe! Almost freaked out when I saw a stream of red flowing into the syringe and tinting the contents pinkish-red. Thankfully I still have enough sense to apply pressure and quickly remove the needle.

Brought her out for some fresh air, hopefully to cheer her up after being cooped up in the house for so many days. She was not as enthusiastic as before and fell asleep soon after returning home. And she whimpered in her sleep. Hopefully, she will have a restful night like yester...
