[Felvtalk] Bogey - Is this hepatic lipidosis - concerns

[Sherri Godschalk]

Gees, my poor baby. I wonder if she slowed so much in her diet last week
that she got hepatic lipidosis. Been reading about it this morning and her
symptoms were awfully similar.

The best day so far for her. Eating great on her own, all bodily functions
aok. Drinking a lot. Maybe too much? I gave her that Fancy Feast gravy
yesterday watered down and she did have some diarrhea but it is getting
better. Just too rich I think. Jaundice is very light now. Gums and nose are
pink. She even played some.

All these things are so wonderful. But when she tries to sit still, she
rocks or sways some. Even walking or standing over her dish she is
struggling with her balance. It is like her world is spinning faster or
something. She knows her name and where everything is. She sometimes stares
at a blank wall almost like in a trance. I have had to blockade all the
staircases, her condo and such because she wants to use them and she would
fall for sure if she had access. Her gait has improved but really this is a
little scary.

Was curious if I might need to still be giving her Pedialyte. Her potassium
was on the low side on the 12th and they didn¹t recheck when they released
her. With all that IV fluid and this water she is getting, do you think she
could still technically be dehydrated? Moist gums, skin snaps back. Just
wondering what you all thought.

If not that, could it be vertigo or something? She isn¹t nauseous , although
I would be. Good appetite.

Sorry for all the questions but I am worried about her neurological status.
And was wondering if any of you had gone through this with your babies.

Thanks

Sherri
