Steady Progress

Ada has been on 30 mg of prednisone every other day now for 2 weeks without any negative effect. She continues to show only neg or trace proteins. She is active and otherwise healthy, and doing well with schoolwork.

I am amazed at the amount of personal responsibility a now 7 year old (happy birthday Ada) can take for their own care. When Grandma and Grandpa took her out shopping for her birthday, Grandpa picked himself up a package of malt balls. She decided she wanted to get some too, but then asked to see how much sodium was in them. She took the package from Grandpa to read the nutrition lable and then told them, "Oh, 150 salt. I can only have 100 salt." So they went and found lifesavers instead (zero sodium). She does the same with breakfast cereal and other food items brought into the house. Good Girl, Ada
