Subject: Ashling update (carcinoma with ascites)

I just wanted to send an update on Ashling. The Lasix has been WONDERFUL
for her. She needs less than originally thought because she dehydrates
too easily (and scares the - ahem - out of us even though we know what
to do), but half a milligram three times a day has eliminated even that
one position in which she did a bit of fussing. Now, she doesn't fuss
at all, and every day she is house patrolling and playing as well as
cuddling and snuggling. We have not had to try pain meds for her yet
despite her carcinoma. (The reason for the Lasix is ascites related to
her carcinoma.)
