Barb, Terrie, Murray, Jane, et al,
Thank you for your responses. I, at first, suggested that Becky eat more
protein and, based upon your feedback, she did. She was fine with a bit of
dyskinesia in the middle of the night but not much worse than usual. She
is fine this morning. She was nervoused and needed reassurance. Thank you.
