Yes, Meltdown has begun eating again. So far it's only soft stuff which is mostly liquid, but having her have interest in food again is a big positive development. Now we have to make sure her feces and attitude get back like they should be. I'll stay up to 1 in the morning and then can join Steve in bed for a while because he'll take a shift starting at 5. She absolutely MUST eat at least once every four hours till this is sorted out; tonight she's doing better than that. Troy Lynn saw to it that she has carnations and she prefers them BIG TIME to the gardenias for sniffing. Interesting smells sure do perk them up a LOT. I am running on Coca Cola right now, and since I usually avoid caffiene you know what kind of shape I'll be in tomorrow, but at least I make more sense with it than I do abstaining from both sleep and that ready stimulant. Meltdown has medicines nine times a day for a while (some of those involve multiple medicines). At least she LIKES the Amoxi and when she's back to normal (Yes, I am counting chickens before ...) the ones we give in Linatone will be rather welcome, too. Sukie [Posted in FML issue 1824]
