I can't believe it

I'm still trying to save my female convict from dropsy and just today she laid some more eggs. I didn't think she would be able to. I'm changing the water every other day (25%) to keep the tank water clean. She hasn't gotten any worse and is still maintaining her beautiful colours. She doesn't look like she's dying. Am I overkilling it on water changes? Is the fact that she is reproducing mean that she is getting better?

Unfortunately, I had to put the female down since she had gotten worse. The male ended up eating the eggs and went into hiding. Now he's out and about and the least skittish I've ever seen him. I'm waiting for my lfs to get more convicts in so I can get another female.
