Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Hope is a beautiful thing............to what you said......yes hope is a beautiful thing to have. Amen.
huge smile, and felt complete warm smile and love just flush all over reading about the last couple of days. I am so happy for all of this.

Squirt was HUNGRY this morning! :) She actually danced around, patted my feet walking down the hall, and whined for her food. Exciting, yes? and no.

She hasn't had any Lyso since last Mon. and that was only 62.5 mg. I don't know if the appetite increase is due to the cortisol going up or because she is finally starting to get over the seizure and Proin. She is displaying no other cush signs - no excess drinking or peeing, still resting well day and night, not seeking cool places, not hiding, not shedding, and still no leaking. I am torn completely in half - I do NOT want to do anything that will diminish the appetite again causing her to go off her feed but nor do I want to let the cortisol start raging possibly putting her in need of a load. An ACTH is flat out of the question unless I sell a LOT of stuff - which ain't been happening tho I have sold some things...enough to pay for this recent ordeal anyway. So for now, I'm tiptoeing around watching her like a hawk and am going to withhold the Lyso for a bit longer....I think. :rolleyes:

It's tough feeling so happy to see her acting more like her usual self yet worrying about the reason for it. I think for today I will just be happy to see her feeling better. :)

Leslie:
Glad to hear Squirt is wanting her food now. I am right there with you about the cause. It's a shame the cush mom seldom if ever gets a worry free day. God Bless

Maybe, right now, Squirts needs her cortisol to run a bit higher, so I believe holding off on the Lyso will do her more good than harm.

Sending you both tons of loving hugs, Lori

Reasons for the hunger aside, she was happy and dancing around your feet. That is enough reason for celebration anyway! :D And as Lori said, it may pay to have her run a little higher at the moment anyway. Surely holding off a little longer wont let it get away from you.

Happy, hungry and dancing at your feet! :D YAY!!!!!!!!!!:D
For the moment, just enjoy!:)

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

We are all dancing at your feet too, great news.

I cant advise about the Lyso dose. I know you dont want to have to do a load and I dont blame you.

(((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

Everything seems to vary, day by day doesn't it. :) A happy Squirt though, is a happy momma :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi dear Leslie,

Yes, you are seeing correctly. It's me, the Princess's mommy. lol...I just read up on your Squirt, and I am very happy to see she has eaten for you. Gosh, I think by far, that is our biggest concern with these babies. When they don't eat, we certainly panic. I know I do. I think you also, any of us. So I hope she keeps this up for you and her so you can continue your path on loving each other up, not that you don't do that anyway.

Always thinking of many here on the forum, so many, specially you, Squirt and the whole gang.

Tight ones..
