DAY 62 - GRACIE UPDATE

It's Wednesday morning we can report that yesterday was, indeed, a better day for Gracie.

Someting is working!  Meds, IV, eating, maybe all three.
She (and we) handled the three fluid injections without any problems.  Hard to stick that big needle into her neck, but she does not seem to even notice it.

Sometime yesterday she began eating both her chicken AND the rice.  In fact, she licked her bowl clean the last three feedings (we don't give her too much at any one time).  She ate one whole "goodie".  She "snapped" at the chicken pieces we planted her pills in.  She drank water.  She was alert most of the day and not simply sleeping.  And while we were eating dinner, she actually got up off the sofa and came to the table to beg for food!  Now thats the Gracie we know.
What a change in 24 hours!

The Dr ordered in several samples of "approved" food for kidney issue patients but did not hear from him yesterday.  But as long as Gracie is eating chicken and brown rice, chicken and brown rice it is!

More later today if anything changes.  Otherwise I'll update tomorrow morning re todays progress.

Thanks for checking in on her.
