Hi,

Just wanted to let you know how Cricket is doing. I hope and pray that I don't jinx us but, she is standing and walking a little. She has more strength today than she has in over a week. She has been on dexamethasone a week today. If this works it will work within two weeks and I have such high hopes. Also, today she ate dry food. I took a mallet and broke it up into fine pieces and she ate like a little pig. I know in my heart that I have done everything to get this precious little girl better and it has been worth everything I've done to try and help her.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. She and I are determined to get over this nightmare together. Thanks so much for being there for us.

Judy

Good luck.

Thanks for the advise, I have tried fixing her everything in every combination possible. She has been doing well on chicken baby food with a little ceasars mashed up and a little water, but yesterday she was eager to eat her dry food but seemed to be having trouble trying to chew it. So, I broke it up and she ate it like a little pig. I have been offering her dry food softened up in water but up til now she didn't eat it well. She always has been my little fussy eater and now with this going on she will be really fussy. That's okay I will take anything I can get at this point.

She's not as alert as she has been but when her medicine kicks in she usually perks up. I can always tell when it is getting time for another dose. She really acts "different".

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will take all the help that I can get.
