Just DM

Sierra is still doing well and still ambulatory. She has good days and bad days, but her decline is gradual and I appreciate each day. She is eating her supplements well these days with very little encouragement needed. She has had a few incidences of urinary incontinence. I am using people's chux pads under her bed to protect the floor as a just in case measure. I have noticed that as Sierra gets more ataxic she continues to have good righting reactions and often catches her balance before she falls. I appreciate this and hope to keep working on and preserving her righting reactions. There are many others going through the DM journey and I would love to hear from you- leave us a comment.
