Lucy Update
As you may recall, Lucy, the mother of our beloved babies, has suffered some health setbacks recently. It appeared that both of her tympanic membranes had ruptured and our fear was that her ears were filled with pus.
She was back at OSU today where she was evaluated by a neurologist. It now appears that her tympanic membranes are not currently ruptured, although they may have been in the past. The neurologist and Dr. Herrli are beginning to think that the cause of her wobbliness is some kind of protozoan infection, such as e cunniculi. The progressive wobbliness may be due to neurological inflammation.
I know this sounds really scary but...
The plan is to put her on a large dose of prednisone to try to reduce the inflammation. If inflammation is what is going on and if the prednisone is effective, the prognosis is good.
The plan is to start her on the prednisone next week.
What a rollercoaster ride! And major kudos to Sarah, who is looking after Lucy!
