The other day Ada started spilling proteins again. Today and yesterday she was at a 3+ (the scale is negative, trace, 1,2,3,&4). She was just coming to the end of her month long treatment of 30 mg prednisone everyotherday and then we were to drop down. So I called the clinic and talked to her case manager.
The first question they always ask is if she has been sick and is she swelling.
She did have diarhea the other day, and is not swelling.
We are to hold her at her current prednisone level and just watch her for the remainder of the week (of course it is a holiday week). Then I will call the clinic back on Monday and we will evaluated any changes and see what to do at that point. Hopefully she is fighting a little stomach bug which is causing the problems.
Of course if she starts swelling or experiencing severe abdominal pain or fevers we are to call the on call physician at the children's hospital.
Keep her in your prayers please.
