Dec 29th Lab Results

I got a call today from Dr. Zapata's office with the results from Ashlyne's blood work this week. There has been some changes, he is not too concerned yet but will be having her blood work drawn weekly again to see if things level out. Ashlyne's sed rates went up 8 points to 12, and one of the liver tox levels (apm I think, I was driving so could not write things down) was also up. The 6mp (immunosuppressant) can cause liver and kidney tox issues so we will have to monitor this. Ashlyne has had a few pain spells since Christmas but not a lot, so we will just have to wait and see. Continue to pray that these are not issues arising from the disease and just little blips in the road. Ashlyne has been coming down from 40mg of prednisone and last time we came off the prednisone her pain issues started up again as she went down. Let's hope that is not the case again and she is continuing to have healing. Also pray for the prednisone side affects of acne, Ash is not happy about this little issue added to her face.

Happy New Year!!
