Day +152

Hi Everyone,
I decided to go ahead and update my journal for my Mom today. This morning we had to go to ACH for me to get in IVIG infusion. Hopefully, this will be the last time I have to go there to get it done. The doctors are looking into setting up for me to have it done from home from now on. So, I spent pretty much all of my day in the Hemac/Oncology clinic. I was glad to get home, although it wasn't until about 4:15 or so. My counts were all good and in the normal range. Some great news is that I can finally stop taking the insulin Lantus. I was having to inject about 30 Units of it a day, but my blood glucose levels have been nice and low. Since the doctors want to avoid Hypoglycemia, I'm just going to stick to the oral insulin, Actos, and the fast-acting injections, Humalog. It is a relief for the steroid symptoms to finalluy be going away. I'm still going to be 15 mg a day, because I haven't been on it a full week yet, and I was on 20 mg for two weeks, so we are going to keep that schedule. Other than that, theres not much else to report. Kennedy has just been a pure joy to have around. I was so proud of her today when I got home. We were worried she might have an accident being home for hours alone, but she didn't! She held it the entire time, until I took her out once I got back. (I decided to put her in my bathroom while we were gone, with her toys, food, and crate). Right now she's enjoying one her of toys, trying to destroy it, but luckily it's still pretty much intact.
