Well Nancy, when I first saw your post, I was sure that she would never come back to me again. I gave Inca 8 cc's of sub-q RLS and .04 cc's of dexamethasone yesterday, A few hours later, I noticed Inca was attempting to stand up, and her eyes were open...she was weak and wobbly but definitely more upright. She went from unable to swallow, to gulping down 10 cc's last night of Ensure/baby cereal. So my guess is that Inca had a stroke. This morning she's a little more mobile, we are on our 10th cc of syringe food, her head is up, her eyes look content. My little fighter is still going. She went from agonal breathing on Saturday afternoon (the gasping breathing where there is no actual movement of air into the lungs) to easier breathing today.
And we now just got 12 cc's into her...I'll let her rest today and see how she's doing tonight...we will be playing this day by day, but I have seen some "miraculous" reprieves from stroke with steroids... *fingers crossed*
does anyone remember Hoochy?
