hello to all the fans! we have been to the local peadiatric cardiologist dr. chris hugo-hamman last week and had chest x-rays done, echo etc and he is very happy with her progress and has taken her off some medications and also thinks the chyle's effusion has healed ( thanks to orgon and rita ) but says we should for safety sake just stick to the diet for another week and then slowly start re-introducing. the only medication she is on now is the diuretic and the fluid restriction is also a thing of the past. cara is very thin though due to a lack of muscles and restricted eating choices, but will hopefully come back to her old weight soon. she has lost about 4 kgs and has picked up only half a kilo so far.
we are almost over the jetlag, it really hit us this time after so long in the states.....
the cats tipsy and tapsy are being trained by cara to become circus participants...she spends hours with them and has started knitting inbetween the movies ( she loves those and soon there will be no more movies left she has not seen.....she just watched beethoven and absolutely loved it )
today it has been raining non-stop and everyting is wet, wet, wet. we had over 800 mm rain by now, our average is 350 mm. have a good evening!
