So what happens next? I have a plan! I have a plan! I will go down to 10mg of Prednisone for the next week, then I will only take 10mg every other day. Then on the 29th I will go in and get blood drawn again. I can not imagine with no Prednisone even falling close to 120,000, so the next draw should take me completely off of it. I will be off of my daily steroid, that has bloated my face, my middle, and ankles! I will be able to exercise again! I am actually taking the whole day off of school. It is the week after my kids test, and I am sure I will need a personal day.
I still can't fathom not taking daily medication, but it may be a real possibility before the month of May! Goodness I can only hope, and pray of course.
People have asked me what Jacob and I are doing tonight to celebrate....well we are waiting until the
big day when the doc says " You are in REMISSION" On that day I am going to go out and get a tattoo. I have wanted the same tattoo since I was 16 and I am going to get it on remission day! It will be one of the swirly suns. I have not decided if it will be yellow, or orange, but I am leaning towards orange. I know so many of you are like...oh my goodness, not a tattoo, not Amanda....but it will not be any bigger than a half dollar coin. NO WORRIES! I also think I deserve it! :) Then I will go and get a drink....an "adult" drink. Something fruity of course! :) AHH I dream big!Such good news! I am flying high, and so is Jacob! We both are almost at a loss of words, but I am not quite as seen above :)
PRAYER WORKS!!!
