Happier than most times to turn the calendar to a new month. January has not been kind. February dawns as we keep a vigil, waiting for results from biopsies taken during the endoscopy and blood work testing for Addison’s Disease.

On a bright note, Daisy has started eating the prescription food that they recommended at the hospital. She has also developed a renewed interest in the “cookie closet,” and had a few bites of Frank’s sandwich at lunch. She’s been on Prilosec and Prednisone for a couple of days, and they may have started kicking in.

She’s currently taking an afternoon nap on a double pile of comforters on top of her LL Bean mattress. Shaved belly compliments of Ultrasound testing. Sort of reminiscent of the old story of the Princess and the Pea.
