'Roid Rage

I can't tell you how glad I am that Gabriella is finished with the oral steroids. They made her miserable. Actually, it would be more correct to say that they made us ALL miserable. Gabriella has a great little personality. She is usually very enjoyable to be around. On steroids she is hyperactive and even agressive. It is a pretty big personality shift. It doesn't help that albuterol (her breathing treatments) also makes her feel a bit jittery. She got so tired and not be able to sleep until she just dropped. Yesterday I ended up just holding her and rocking her until she finally passed out. Honestly, Jonathan and I spent most of our weekend just taking a deep breath, reminding ourselves how sick she was and trying to divert her attention. She got to watch the movie "Enchanted" twice and she got to eat jello.

Today she still needs breathing treatments, but she is definately on the mend. She'll have a check in with Dr.Sarah in a few days.
