I have far less to deal with than so many of you that I hate to complain. So........I'll just whine I guess.
Called Rheumatology because Claire is nearly refusing to use her right hand, crying etc. The consensus between the GI and the Rheumatologist is that since all her numbers are good EXCEPT fecal calprotectin (crept back to 577) and some borderline anemia that the joint pain is secondary to the gut problem.
GI put the kabash on EN because he feels it is most effective for small bowel disease and Claire's has always been "diffuse". After some debate we agreed to a 5 day "burst" of steroids and a bump in methotrexate since she's 85 pounds.
The black dog, Dusty, is sniffing around my porch. :ack:
Love you all - hugs to all of us that would take it all away from these kids in a MINUTE if we could.
