Katie is wiped out

This is the last day Katie will be on the steroids and she is completely wiped out. She spent most of the day yesterday sleeping and it is looking like today is going to be mostly the same. I hate seeing her like this because she is typically a pretty active little girl. These drugs make her look so strung out...I HATE IT!

This round of steroids was not as bad as we expected. Her moods were fairly "normal" (still whiny and bossy, but I am thinking that is "normal" for an almost 3 year old girl). She did not latch onto any one food like she has on past rounds of the steroids. But some of her "favorites" this round include Little Bites Fudge Brownies, Dora the Explorer "gummies", and Mac n' Cheese Crackers...oh so healthy. We still have her on the Pediasure for the vitamins & Minerals, but the doctor just keeps telling us to let her eat whatever she wants because right now, keeping her calorie count up is more important than nutrition. Funny how the priorities change when your child has a life threatening disease.

Past Steroid Crazes:
Round 1: Funyuns
Round 2: Pepperoni
Round 3: Pringles Original Potato Chips & chocolate milk
Round 4: Peanut Butter Sandwich & regular milk
Round 5: Burger King Cheesy Tots & a chocolate shake

Because of the strength of the new drug, they told us to expect her body to ache when she comes off the steroids, so we'll see how she feels when she comes off tomorrow.
