Hey everyone,
We met with the specialist yesterday and everything went GREAT! Her SED rate was cut in half! Hemoglobin is on the rise and no pain or diarrhea
So, we get to start weaning from the pred faster and at a better pace than I expected. She's up 10 lbs and finally looking healthy Doc told us to stay on low residue diet b/c its working too. We're going to check weekly on 6 mp levels, may or may not have to raise...she's on the lowest dose possible right now (1/4 pill). The dr gave us all the time we wanted for questions and never seemed rushed at all. We walked out so happy and with such high hopes. Marilena has been journaling a lot about her feelings which seems to help too. She's excited for the presentation we're going to give her class about Crohns. I feel l like we're in a honeymoon stage. Cross our fingers!
