Update On Sadie Layne

My baby wouldn't even look at me when I was trying to take her picture :(

Just thought I would update everyone as to Sadie's progress. She was doing so great but over the past few days she has started acting slightly different. Not sure how to explain it, we just know her so well that she is not acting like her happy, crazy self. We are halfway with her CCNU treatments (chemo treatments) and she was doing great, in complete remission after 2 treatments. We were even able to wean her off of her prednisone (the steroid) in the last week. However, in the past two days she has began to not act like herself. She is tired and seems to want to be by herself a lot, doesn't want to eat and won't take her antibiotics that she was started on last week due to a low white blood cell count. Last night I found another very small lump under her neck. This morning she is not eating and Matt thinks she may have had a seizure. She came in from outside and he heard her nails scratching the wood floor and a crash so he came running and she could barely walk and couldn't figure out how to sit down. She was staring into space and within about 30 seconds she was back to normal but breathing hard. Weird. I don't know if it's because we stopped the prednisone or what. The treatment has been working great and she has had no side effects from it, aside from being very thirsty and hungry. I also took her temp (not fun if you know where I had to take it :) ) and she is not running a fever. I guess we will just continue monitoring her. She is due for her 4th chemo treatment next Thursday, but I will be calling the oncologist sooner is she continues this odd behavior. Here's hoping she is just in a slump and will bounce back quick!
