Form of Encephalitis but Lili's home

So far so good. Lili was diagnosed with a brain disease similar to encephalitis (SP?). It is a treatable disease but not curable.

 

She reacted positively to the low-dose of prednisone and then spent the weekend getting an IV drip of a chemotherapy drug as further treatment. She is on prednisone and will have follow-up "booster" shots of the chemo drug in shot form every three weeks, twice a day for two consecutive days. Right now her prognosis is Fair but she certainly shows signs of progress and the doctors are very pleased with her response to treatment.

 

Thanks to all for your well wishes. Keep your fingers crossed she continues to show signs of progress. She wants to play with her squeaky toys so that's always a good sign in my book!
