Day 39

These posts have been rather late...but this little man has been hard to get to sleep. Today was about a whole bunch of questions...on our part...on the doctors part. Not a whole lot to post about. Jet's CRP's were 4.3, so that's good news. Hopefully they stay on the downward trend. His rash was a lot less apparent today, probably because they lowered his dose of cyclosporine. However, the levels of cyclosporine in his blood were still pretty high and not yet within that therapeutic range. They skipped tonights' dose and plan on starting again tomorrow but with 20 mg instead of 35mg. So this will be our third decrease of the oral because he started on 54 mg. Dr. Burns is a little "mystified" as she puts it. She said he's an official cyclosporine failure! Don't be confused like I was...there is still purpose in him receiving it as part of his daily regimen for the next six weeks, it's just that it didn't have the affect on Jet like it had on her other patients and that's what she means by "failure." I think that's about it for today...I figure the less eventful, the better! And because I wouldn't be able to really put it into words...this is how Jet pooped tonight. I actually give him high marks for his technique.
