Roughing it

I'm afraid our ET has been having a rough time of it these past few days. Its really been like a rollercoaster - now she's up, now she's down. Right now, she's down. Its tough to talk, to eat, to just breathe. Bt she's a fighter. She's doing a lot of listening. When you're in the room talking, assuming that she's out of it, she'll smile at something you say. So you'd better be saying nice things, or next time she's up, you'll pay!
