Pamidronate #16 - Full (Montreal) Dose

"Mimi", Rose-Marie Chiasson (Montreal Shriner's Social Worker), Molly and Me

Molly with Dr. Glorieux


Molly had her 16th infusion and is feeling much better. We spoke with Dr. Glorieux, in Montreal, and he advised s to give her a full dose for the next several infusions to increase her bone density and possibly reduce her fractures. This is generally done over 3 days, but we were able to calculate (with Dr. Glorieux's help) how to give it to her over 2 days instead. She was quite perky after her first day and was so hyper after the second day that she couldn't nap.

She took several steps today without her walker and Jim was able to capture it on video... here she is taking 3 or 4 steps on her own!!!

This evening she crawled into Howie's crate and insisted on having her bedtime books read while inside and continually announced "I'm a dog... woof woof". When Jim took her up for bed she said "Look at my armpit, doesn't it look ticklish" - boy is she good at delay tactics!!
