When Ethan wasn’t sleeping, the
Decadron seemed to have a mood-altering effect on him, which has been torturous
for the rest of us. Friday wasn’t
so bad, but today and Saturday more than made up for it.
I think the low point came earlier this afternoon when he realized that he
missed both Thomas' and Courtney's birthday parties this weekend... Whew!
He’s very fragile both physically and emotionally, so I’m hoping
tomorrow will be better once some of these meds work their way out of his
system. I have to keep reminding
myself that I’d rather endure several bad days of vicious mood swings then to
see him so sick. It’s been very
difficult and very tiring though, and I think that I may be on the verge of my
own mood swing…
Please, if any of you cross our paths over the next few days – BE GENTLE!
Kim.
