she came home with the feeding tube still in her nose...
it allowed me to atleast get something down her if she chose not to eat again.
as far as her meds are concerned,
prednisone was decreased from 20mg 2x daily, to 10mg 1x daily.
imuran was stopped completely.
cyclosporine was changed from 100mg 1x daily, to 50mg 2x daily.
tuesday night was easy but wednesday morning she vomited in her sleep...
luckily i was sleeping right next to her and was able to take care of it.
i called off work because she was still unable to stand or even move herself much,
and with that kind of vomit it really becomes scary because you dont want her to choke in it.
she vomited a 2nd time hours later but continued to eat on her own as well...
thursday i went to work and when i came home for lunch she had threw up again.
this time she managed to roll herself away from it and was sitting up staring as i came thru the door.
she is definately getting stronger, little subtle things are beginning to stand out.
friday we had no accidents, and she seems to be holding her food down quite well.
she is eating the mini cans of hills AD, usually 3-4 times daily and seems to enjoy it.
i usually add a half teaspoon of 'pet tinic' in with her food twice daily.
she also had a healthy stool for the first time in weeks :)
saturday she did well yet again...
no vomiting, consistent eating and those big bright eyes reminding me everyday that following your heart is the way to go!
