Cautiously Optimistic!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Sophie started her new Chemo Rescue drug on Monday.  Dr. Jenny said if it was going to help that we should see some significant results within a couple of days.  Starting on Wednesday morning she was taking some puppy treats as early at 6am.  That in and of itself was pretty significant. By Thursday morning her external lymph nodes were significantly reduced in size.  We have no way to know about the internal ones but she is eating which leads us to believe the swelling in them has gone down some as well.  She is still only eating about 6 different types of treats, turning her nose up at everything else, but we'll take it.  She has a lot more energy and has gotten to go for a little walk the last two days.  She no longer wants to just lay outside in the cold all the time and has a tiny little pep in her step.  By no means does it mean she is out of the woods or even in remission, but it is very refreshing to just see her feeling a little bit better than these past few weeks.

This is such good news, there is to nothing that can make you happier than a little renewed hope. I will continue to pray for a complete remission for Sophie and feeling better in the mean time.
