Dog Days

No More IV
Miss Vicki got untethered earlier this week; she's no longer receiving continuous intravenous fluids so she's not constantly hooked to the IV pump. This makes it much easier to get out of bed to use the shower and restroom. The medical team is encouraging her to get up and walk around, although since she's very weak this is hard for her.

No More Royal Suite
On Thursday night Vicki was moved to another room. She's still in a private room for infection control reasons, but this room is smaller and doesn't have a view of the trees like her old room. When your whole world is a tiny hospital room, a change like this can really upset the apple cart.

Doggie Love
Today Vicki gets a very special treat, a visit from Phineas and Leo. She has to get done up in a mask and gloves and all kinds of protective gear. Licking is strictly forbidden*.

* The doctor probably meant the boys are not permitted to lick her, but the other way around is forbidden as well.
