Cold passes without incident

Navigated a cold without relapse. Yeah!

Boring is Good

Thanks for dropping in and checking on us. Ada is doing her pee tests once a week, more or less. We sometimes forget in the morning and then don't get around to it until the next day or two. We maintain a lower sodium menu, but not anything like when she was leaking proteins. She is now almost 3 months protein free without the aid of any medication, and the longer she is in remission the less chance she will relapse, which makes her site a little boring - sorry. But sometimes boring is good.

Does that mean life around here is boring? No Way, not with Ada. She doesn't need prednisone to make her active. She was always one of the kids who got wound up on cold medicine rather than falling asleep. She is having a great time learning and improving her reading and writing. She is a great little scientist, and with the new microscope we got she can now check out her own cells (cool huh)

So with this new year we are hoping for the best for everyone out there. If you are currently on prednisone, we hope you successfully ween off. If you are on a more intensive therapy, we hope it is successful and you will soon be protein and prednisone free. If you are looking at a biopsy, we hope you find the answers you need. And if you are currently in remission, we hope you stay in remission for a long, long time. And if things just are not going well at all, we wish you the strength and courage to carry you through to better times and pray your Drs will be guided to give you the proper care you need.

Love from Ada and a Happy 2009. If all goes well you probably won't get another post here for another month. Thanks for dropping in and checking up on us.
