Well, Ada has relapsed. But at least with the urine tests we are able to know much sooner and begin treatment before she is all swollen up.
So, we go back to a full prednisone dose until she can be trace/negative for a week, then begin the taper schedule again. If at first you don't succeed - try, try again.
Interesting to note: On Wed, when we were suppose to call if her protein output wasn't down, she came into my room excited to report a negative urine test. It was our hope, but also sounded too good to be true. After some questioning we found that since she couldn't find a pee cup she just dipped into the toilet bowl after she went potty. Got great results, but not accurate.

Sorry to hear about the relapse, but as you said, at least you were able to catch it early.
