BACK FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE
All is well. Lucy and I had an amazing trip up North to a private valley where friends have their cabins. She has put on more weight, despite having the Prednisolone reduced down to 1.5ml doses now (twice a day). On Friday she'll be weaned down further to 1ml.
The lymph glands have become very small on her low belly, though still enlarged on her neck, they have remained stable in size there and still much much smaller than they were.
So Far, So Good!
She is now firmly back on her Essiac tea 10ml, with an additional 1ml of Sheep Sorrel decoction added to it. She gets that by oral syringe into the mouth twice a day. She seems quite happy to 'drink' it down, without resisting it when I syringe it into the side of her mouth.
I am also continuing with the IP6 & Inositol capsule, and the Sutherland OPC, which is also twice a day.
Inthe morning she gets one capsule of Hydrazine Sulfate.

And so onward we go.
I feel Lucy had such a wonderful mental and emotional break in the countryside. She 'smiled' every minute of every day, revelling in it all. Her energy level was high. However I made sure she didn't do too much physical exertion at one time, but smaller bursts throughout the day. 2 or three shorter walks each day in the valley, exploring, rather than a big hike.
