The only time he's not hyper is when he's sick

Posted in Random musings

 

David is having a relapse or a recurrence of his nephrotic syndrome.  Friend Husband is about to take him downtown to Children's Hospital for a consult with the nephrologists.  We expected this to happen sometime but not quite so soon.  He just tapered off his meds last Sunday.  Poor little man is so miserable...please pray for him to feel better soon.

Edit:  Well, they're back.  He's gotten some kind of a virus, which has kicked him into a relapse.  He was relatively ok at the Hospital but the minute he came back home, his temperature spiked and is now at 103.4º.  He's finally allowed to have Tylenol, which Friend Husband is on the way to Kroger to get some as well as a better thermometer, since our "good" one went missing.

The doctors felt that this was a temporary setback and put him back on a high dose of steroid to knock down the kidney problem.  They think that this time they'll be able to taper him back more rapidly so he won't have to be on steroid for 3 months again.

Thanks for the prayers!
