Winter progresses on

Counting down the days of winter until Spring hits.  Just after Spring hits then it's spring break and a well deserved trip to the beach.  Things have been good here.  A new daily dose of Alleve has helped with the larger joint pains and each little head cold that has started was stopped short and didn't turn into a roaring sinus infection.

Some days are better than others when it comes to the GI stuff.  It usually is easier on the weekend than during the week because of the extra rest and calmer pace but lately even on the weekends there have been extra trips to the bathroom and pain.  Steroids are still at an increased dose and I don't think we're going to be able to come down on them anytime soon.  I'm going to ask at the next appointment in Atlanta if we can try another burst dose of IV steroids.

Spring musical tryouts are next week and with a good song in hand there will hopefully be a positive outcome.
