Re: Bailey Update

I am hoping too.  Bailey has been such an inspiration to all of us.  I have found dexamethasone to be helpful with anemia where it is caused by lymphoma-- in combo with chemo.  Kerry had luck with it with Bandy too, in combo with all that other stuff.   Michelle    In a message dated 1/17/2006 4:52:47 P.M.

He is really PO'd and hissing.  I will give him a 2 to 3 hours to settle down before I feed him a very small watered down meal and later tonight I will give him his meds in another small watered down meal.  I hope he is as OK with the tube feedings as Buddie was.  I'll let you know ... Sure am hoping and praying that whatever it is is something we can treat & beat!!
