Sick of lying down all the time, Vera tries to get some workout done in the hospital bed.
The good news:
1) She's finally got her flu jab - I'm so looking forward to a break from infection!
2) Doctors have finally ordered mucus medication for her - it has to be imported specially from the States and will take two weeks to arrive. (It's called Glycopyrrolate - anyone has used this before?)
3) She's finally strong enough to pull herself up just gripping onto our fingers!
Looking forward to sunny days ahead : )

Yea May, this is what our medicine is called that I have been telling you about. It is also called Robinul. But our bottle say Glycopyrrolate. Just be patient with this medicine. Annabel was totally chocking and so full of mucous before we began this med. If we get off it comes back. It take a little bit to get into their system and work. Annabel's dosage is 1-4 mls. But if we give her 4mls. she will dry up so much, like nothing (salava in her mouth and she can produce any urine at all). So be aware it does have effect for some on the urinary/bowel as well. But we just play with the dosage. She normally takes somewhere between 1ml. to 1.5 ml. We don't have near the issues with desats due to mucos filling her airway, chocking with such thick muscous. I am praying that this will be an answered prayer for you. I think I remember after like a week I wasn't sure it was working but probably after two weeks I could see the daily effects for her. You will probably have to find a balance for Vera.
