gastroenterologist had me on high doses of prednisoneThat could very well be a culprit in at least some of your problem. That stuff really is a wonder drug but long term it can be a real problem. Especially in high doses!
I pray they have some answers soon!

Afternoon Kathy! *hugs*
She really is putting up a good fight. Her frustration level must be over the top. I so pray her lungs will revert to doing their intended job...VERY soon.
Prayers and hugs to her when you visit next. Bless you for being a wonderful friend and being there for her!

He’s a doll.
Nicely shaped head.. One of the ‘advantages’ of tiny babies is they aren’t often cone heads.
Came with a full head of hair too.
He seems to be picking up weight just fine too.
Bust your buttons, Sandy.

LOL...but of course!
How 'bout you? Any thought on where/when any of those pieces might land? Give or take 7 hours! (That part really gave me a laugh!) By the time they decide they know it will already have happened! *chuckle*

Dear Ma,
The pictures posted for this thread make my patriotic heart swell til bursting!
Thank you so much for never giving up this canteen. I often lurk, but haven’t posted on a regular basis in quite sometime.
I’ve been spreading patriotism and support for our troops, America and Israel on FB. Also, my health hasn’t been too swift lately. Well, that’s my excuse and I’m stickin’ to it. :P
You must know I love all you dear souls here. In particular, AZamericonnie, Ms.B., Luvy, Tassy, PROCON, and many others.
You are all appreciated and loved!
xoxoxo,
meeky

Not a drop...thanks for asking, Kathy. I am pretty sure the chance is gone now, unless hurricane Hilary shows up around here.
What an apt name for a hurricane! LOL!
How is Teresa? I hope she’s gaining in strength.

Not much forward progress yesterday, but NO back stepping.
One of the girls is going to use baby shampoo on her hair and get all the tangles out. Two years ago they cut it and she still is not happy with them. LOL!

Well, thank goodness there is slow forward progress! I don’t blame her for being angry at having an unwanted haircut! LOL! I hope they are using a de-tangler, too. :)
