No More Steroids!
Today is mom's first day without a dose of steroids. She has had some increase in dizziness and possibly more confusion (sometimes it is hard to judge). She also has a cold that has lingered for about 2 weeks. She went to see her doctor yesterday and started on antibiotics and decongestant med. We will see if this decreases her dizziness. Tomorrow we will see Dr. Baltz and he will decide whether or not we start taking more steroids. I really hope he gives us a few days to try staying off the steroids. I don't want her to feel bad, but they have so many side effects.
We had a very nice Christmas. Sunday morning Anna and Brian took mom to her church and we took the kids to our church. That afternoon Jana, Brad and Emily came into town. Then Anna, Brian and their kids all came over. Our neighbor provided a wonderful meal and we had more than enough to eat. Then we had a very special visitor stop by on a very busy night. The kids were so excited to see Santa. They were really impressed when he knew where each child now lived since they had all moved recently. He brought presents as well. (We have some wonderful neighbors!) On Christmas morning we had a late brunch when Anna and Brian got their kids off to their grandma's house. We had lots of presents to open and more food to eat! We baked a pumpkin pie with homemade crust and all. We did not do much of anything but visit and watch the kids play.
The stomach bug has been running around our family now and we are praying mom does not get it! Anna had a bad case of it but mine was very mild. I secluded myself in our room for about 24 hours! I hope it is stopped in it,s tracks!
I will try to blog again after we see Dr. Baltz tomorrow. I think he will once again be impressed with how well mom is doing.
We have a new prayer request though and this time not for us. One of Jana's best friends has an almost 2 year old little girl. She began walking funny Christmas Eve. Woke up fine on Christmas day until that evening when she stopped using her left side almost all together. They took her to the ER and they sent her to Children's for sever acute anemia. The put her in ICU and in isolation and took a bone marrow sample to rule out leukemia. They are very scared and worried for their precious little girl. We are praying that it will not be a life threatening disease as they are telling them right now. Please join us in lifting this little one up in prayer!
