All that, and his platelet count remains robustly high. In
short: another reduction in the steroid dose starting
tonight. He's gone from 14 pills a week to now 1.5 pills a
week. Soon we'll have a decision to make: whether to take him
off completely or to keep him on a low dose.


Chad
I hope each day that passes shows improvement for Frankie.
Frankie has been on my mind a lot lately.

Give him some extra special love. I know he deserves it.

Gwen



Thanks Gwen. We really appreciate it.
Chad

damn! i'm glad to hear that he's doing better overall, though. that's
a huge relief. give the little guy scritches from me.

The one on his left
squeezes through his back teeth and touches his upper lip, and where they
touch there is something else happening, like an irritation or something on
the upper lip. Not sure what that is...

it could be a simple irritation (the skin in the mouth is awfully
delicate and it doesn't take much to damage it), or perhaps something
similar to a chancre sore?

Thanks, Shelly. I don't think they are tumors, but we just don't know.

Could be simple irritation. I don't know for sure. Its different from the
other growths. If it were an open wound, I'd compare it to a canker sore, but
its not; its flat, somewhat elevated, about the size of a pencil eraser. But
it is touching one of the two masses, so it could be just that...
