In Ella's own words...
Dear Friends and Family,
Henri is growing up so fast! He is like a little sponge, trying to figure the world out. With this last medication reduction, he really perked up. In the early mornings, he loves to sit outside and watch birds. Also, after being mentored by Jeannette's Westie, Lily Rose, on digging and the ecosytem of good soil, he has taken an interest in grubs and insects. He has not totally convinced that eating lower on the food chain is really that great but it's fun to try---it is all about the sport for him---dig and release. Henri, also, found some new summer foods that he enjoyed--watermelon and fresh snap peas. I will try to get a photo of him eating a snap pea---it is very cute, watching him crunch away.
Henri had his bloodwork done yesterday. His hematocrit has held steady at 43%. Hurray for Henri!! His next medication reduction will be another prednisone reduction. This upcoming medication reduction is critical to "waking" up Henri's adrenal glands. Henri's prednisone dose will be given on alternating days to challenge his adrenal glands to start making their own steroid hormones again. So our prayer continue to be for--No Relapse. Let the Miracle continue!!!
Henri sends LOTS of terrier kisses!
Warmly,
Ella, Jeff, Bella, and Mr Henri
