Much better news to start out today – the oral (pushed through her feeding tube) steroids kicked in after 3 hefty doses and Eme’s awake this morning! She’s even sitting up & has given her baby doll a bathJ. She’s still a little slow, but is overall much improved & back on track to her old self. And, yes… Dr. M acknowledged it – “you were right”, he said. It’s not about who’s right & who’s wrong, though. I just want to do what’s best for Emerson. Uggh… He suggested we stay one more day to keep an eye on her. I want to go back to the apartment, though (I seriously need to get out of this place). This time I won & we’re discharging today!! We’re not far away if things don’t continue to improve. Now that she’s on proper medication for Addison's, though, I have a strong suspicion they will!
