Oh Rick, I am so very sorry. Your love for her was so very obvious and you fought so hard to find the answers.

My deepest condolences.

Love Vally.

Oh, such a cute photo. No Bingo has to be dragged out of bed. He just waves his arm around, which means keep scratching.

Don’t ya luv em.

Hi Roger, I’m sorry your Dixie is so sick at the moment. I know Patrice has sent a lot of information through for you to go through and Sheena has directed yo to the AIHA Terms (up the top) which has a huge amount of information written in such a way that it’s understandable to those who don’t really understand medicine.

I also really urge you to ask for the aspirin and the sucralfate that was mentioned.

Ask anything at all – we all love out mutts to pieces and will do anything we can to help.

Rick, I always noticed a bit of a difference in the first few days. I think they do it on purpose to keep you on your toes. It usually did seem to settle down and go back to normal fairly quickly, from memory. I also found with blood tests, quite often the first PCV after a pred drop, went down a bit. Again to make sure you have something to worry about, just in case things were getting too comfortable.

Hope you have a more “normal” day tomorrow too.

Love Vally

Oh that reminds me. I was at church the other week, and a priest that hasn’t been there for a while, who gives very long, but interesting, homilies, was there. In the middle of his homily, you hear this really loud yawn, and he said “Well that’s a hint that I’ve been going for too long”. It was MY DAD that yawned. He has an incredibly loud yawn. I sit up the front – well away from him thank goodness – as I do the singing (la, la, la, laaaaaa). Dad is actually very hard of hearing and even with hearing aids, would not follow the homily at the best of times, so I’m sure he’s half asleep through them most of the time. It’s also in English and dad’s first language is Italian. Everybody laughed, but dad would have had no idea. I didn’t mention it to him either, or he would have been very embarrassed.

Rick, yes it’s a good pred reduction. Even though it’s a slow reduction, it’s much safer. Brandy is obviously feeling good. You’ve done so well.

Love Vally & Bingo.

Oh Tamara, just better and better. Wonderful.
