Update on Nikki

The good news is that Nikki seemed to be more herself this morning. She actualy bounced a little bit as she went out the back door, and almost ran down the stairs. That's her normal routine - the back steps usually are only two big bounds in either direction for her - but I haven't seen a hint of it since Monday. She's still not leaping and bounding, but it was definitely more pep than she's had for quite a while.

She's still not eating or drinking, though. I guess I should qualify that. When I've given her her pills, hidden inside penne noodles with Alfredo sauce, she's been delighted to eat those. But she isn't touching her own food, and she doesn't want anything to do with any of the beverages I've offered her.

But I'm going to say there's an improvement today, and maybe she'll be back to her normal dietary habits soon.
