This was taken today, Samuel was such a good boy during Ashlyne's Dr visit. He has a sinus infection and on antibiotic but we did not want to risk anything so we had him wear a mask.
From Ashlyne's clinical examination and her lab work from the last three weeks she appears to be improving very well. Dr Z said until he got the results from the ultrasound today he could not conclusively say there was improvement but he was very optimistic. We had the ultrasound after her visit with Dr Z, the radiologiest who did her MRI in November came in and assisted in the ultrasound, his initial feelings were that there was much improvement and he did not see the thickening of the intestine like what was present in November. He had to do the full comparative and was to call Dr Z with his findings before we know for sure.
Dr Z is starting to take Ashlyne down on her prednisone, 5 mg every 5 days until we reach 20 mg, then we will do some more lab work and see. We also had blood work today at Children's, we came home with a "hat" to do a stool sample also. Dr Z wants to speak with Dr Attard and Septer with all the results and look at if and how they will or can modify her elemental liquid diet. We may or may not have any changes at this time. Ashlyne did not like that idea at all. We will just have to wait and see.
We will update more tomorrow once we hear back from Dr Zapata. Again we thank everyone for their continued prayer and support.
