Hanging in there

Today was a relatively good day...pretty uneventful. Elise's ears are better! :) Audrey needs another 2-week round of ear drops to hopefully clear hers, but they are getting better. Lydia had a few bites of oatmeal today...she seemed to like it, but got frustrated with it after just a few bites. We skipped a shot today to begin the weaning process from the ACTH again. Martin and I are not really happy about the differences we see in Lydia today...hopefully it is just a coincidence...we'll see. She seems much more jittery and irritable...especially tonight. I remember that last Friday when we skipped the dose, she was fussy all evening...again, hopefully a coincidence...we'll see. She has a little twitching in her arms and hands (which we had noticed before she started the ACTH...and we noticed it to stop shortly after the shots began.) She is also VERY easily startled...which had gotten better with the shots too. Let's just pray that she continues to do better, even with the weaning of the medication.
