Day 32 (continued)

Okay, so I think I'll post at the end of every day because some things have happened since the last post already.
Dr. Burns came in today and was not happy about the CRP's. She was talking with a couple of doctors who specialize in a couple different areas and they all agreed that further action was needed. Jet is not responding to the cyclosporine.
So in addition to that, they're adding a steroid to his treatment. He will be receiving "gentle" doses of methlprednisolone. If any of you are familiar with Dax's unknown fevers...this is the same thing they prescribed him and it was amazing! There are some side effects of the steroid (hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding) but at this point the benefits outweigh them. This will make him a little more hungry and he could put on some weight. What! Jet...put on weight? I don't think he knows anything about that.
So we should know a little more tomorrow. Dr. Burns said we should see some improvement (hopefully) after the first two doses. Dose 1 was given today at 4pm and will be given again at 4am tomorrow morning(9/9). We really want this to work.
Because of the steroid...we are limiting visitors to just Nate and I. This steroid will make Jet's little immune system even weaker so we don't want any extra germs!!! :) I know you'll all understand. Thanks again for all your support.
