Guest EmilyAnne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Riley feels SO much better today!!! Yesterday we noticed a marked difference, and today even more so! He is doing so well, he wanted to try to come down the stairs himself this morning! Of course I didnt let him and carried him as usual. Anyways, you can just tell that he is so happy to have some relief and be feeling better than he was a few days ago. The Prednisone is working waaaaay better than the chemo did! (One drawback-he is 100% incontinent now, but, small price to pay!) Several days ago: (before Prednisone, and after 2 doses of chemo) After 3 days of Prednisone: And a pic. of Riley... (he's panting cause temps are mid 70's and we need to get AC in downstairs) I am so glad we are able to help him be more comfortable for now! We may even attempt a very short walk!

Guest EmilyAnne Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Someone e-mailed me asking about meds, and so I thought I'd share what meds he is on~ 2-25 mg Bendryl, twice a day 2-10 mg Pepcid AC, twice a day 1-20 mg Prednsidone, twice a day for first 7 days, then will drop to once a day. 1 fish oil capsule, twice a day 1 vitamin E, twice a day 50 mg Tramadol, 1-2 pills 3 times a day. (Riley's is to your left, the other is Henry's) Riley taking his meds like a good boy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KyGrey Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 That's great that he takes them that easily. Lee Lee would be licking the peanut butter and spitting the meds out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
