Hard Morning

Sumis is having a hard morning today. We decreased her prednisone and I have to wonder if the lower dosage is not too low. Her energy and appetite have plummeted, as has her spunk. As usual, this lull occurs on a weekend when the oncologist is unavailable. I am trying not to panic, reminding myself that especially the first three weeks will not be without their bumps. But, I also remember that this is the time in which we evaluate her responsiveness to the chemo. Thank goodness we have an appointment with Dr. P tomorrow for Qi Gong. I am hoping that an afternoon in the sunshine and some junk cat food will perk her up. Until then, I remain by her side, keeping her warm and comfortable.
