Steroid Week

We are in the middle of our most dreaded week-steroids. Maggie's behavior, sleep and eating has been affected once again. She did not take a nap today in the bed, but rather on either me or Andy. She didn't eat much today at meal time, which I think is because of some nausea. She did manage to tell us that she wanted pancakes for breakfast (she saw it on tv). So she had about a quarter of the pancake.

Maggie is very sad looking- the steroids really affect the way her eyes look. She has layed around most of the day and hasn't had much energy. It's very hard to watch her during this week. Maggie also had quite a bad episode of diarrhea tonight before bed. It's one of the worst that she has had in a long time. I think it might be my fault as I allowed Maggie to drink 2 glasses of orange juice. She really drank a lot today and I was excited to see the liquid intake. Unfortunately, it might have ended up biting us later.

Please pray for Maggie, that she can get through this week (as well as us). Pray that the diarrhea she had tonight was only a 1-time thing, that she will sleep better, and feel well enough to eat.

Praying for little Maggie, and of course, you and Andy. I got your message. Will call you in a bit.
