Doing Much Better Today
December 9, 2011 | Progress Report | 7 Comments
It seems that the steroids have made a difference for Jewels. Within a few hours after receiving the steroid injections yesterday she was already showing signs of improvement. Today she seemed a little more perky and even went down the steps without any assistance this morning! The swelling in her limbs and paws has already decreased and I did not notice any coughing all day. She is panting more, but that is expected given her previous reaction to steroids. I am so glad she is feeling better today even though I still find myself crying every now and then when I stop to think about the inevitable conclusion to all of this. In a way, it’s good that I keep busy as a stay-at-home-mom all day. Otherwise I would be such an emotional wreck!
