Ashley just finished her last dose of Prednisone on Tuesday and just started throwing up. Panic has set in...Any advice on what this could mean? I will call the doctor early this morning. She has been on 6mp and has had two Remicade infusions so far. I'm praying and praying this morning.
 
I am so sorry!! The truth is, it could be a lot of different things. She may need to taper the Prednisone more slowly. She may be dehydrated, the 6mp can cause nausea and vomiting if the dose is too high. Or it might just be a badly timed virus. I would give her GI or pediatrician a call and get some zofran (anti nausea med) and have her sip gatorade. If she is having severe abdominal pain, it could be an obstruction. That would be unlikely considering she just finished Prednisone. But that would mean a trip to the ER. I also would call the GI first thing and check in with them.

Try not to panic, I know easier said than done. I have had many days I thought everything was falling apart and my son managed to get through it, it was just a bump in the road.

I will pray for you and your daughter this morning. We are here for you, let us know how Ashley is doing. (((((Hugs))))))
 
Ashley went to the doctors yesterday. Total blood panel done and everything looks great. Doctor thinks it may just be withdrawals from the Prednisone. I pray this passes soon!
 
Ashley is doing so much better! Thank you all! Prednisone withdrawals are not fun. We are one week free as of today :)
 
Ashley had her third infusion this week. We need to go back in one week to have her blood tested again. Her White Blood Count is low. Does this happen often?

now Free
 
No experience with Remi Victoria, but my son's CBC nos. are all over the place. He has other issues that may cause this though. Good luck!
