It's day 4 since finishing the steroids, and Carlotta has made her exit. Charlotte won't be getting anymore Dexamethasone. She will get Prednisone during maintenance, but I don't think that will be quite so mood altering.
With saying goodbye to Carlotta, a couple things happened, almost like magic:
- A more manageable amount of tv time. The TV was on almost constantly with Carlotta around. I guess this also is blamed on her not having energy to do anything BUT sit on the couch watching the telly. I haven't disclosed what exactly 'manageable' means, as I'm sure we are still watching more then the recommended daily allotment for pre-schoolers, but it's about a tenth of what it was a week ago - baby steps
- Meals at the table. Lunch and dinner were had at the table, with no bribing, coercing or timers needed! Woot woot. She also hasn't been demanding a different meal every 10 minutes - I can put away my short-order cook hat!
- Sweet Charlotte. I have my girl back. My energetic, playful, silly girl. nuff said.
