I took Ada to the Dr the other day for a routine physical and she was given a Tdap booster. Today her proteins bumped up to a 2. I called the clinic and they will have us stay on the every-other-day until her proteins are back down for a week.
In hind sight - Would I not do the vaccination? No, but I probably would have waited until she had been in remission for a week or so - I think?

Dr Visit and Consult
It had been a while, so we made a run down to the Hospital for a face-to-face visit with the Dr.
We were lucky to get the first visit of the day, so the office was running on time!
The Dr was pleased that she is responding to the prednisone and her growth is steady. He wants her getting plenty of dairy for calcium. She is suppose to outgrow these relapses, but she will probably relapse again. As long as we are catching the relapses and she is responding to the prednisone we don't really need to be concerned. We are only looking at stronger treatment if she reaches the point where she either doesn't respond or is dependent on the prednisone. We are OK if she gets 4 months or more off of prednisone.
