A glimpse into the week ahead...

It seems we never have a dull moment around here. And we rarely have a week without someone having a doctor appointment these days.

Last week we received some decent news. We went in on Wednesday for The Princess' platelet check to find out that the steroids she was on for her asthma the week prior helped her platelet count A LOT. She was back up to 137,000! Amazing. We avoided an IVIG treatment for now. We scheduled her next appointment for 3 weeks from then, on September 28th.

Today we are going to the dermatologist for a follow up for The Princess. She has had this rash (perioral dermatitis) on her face since May. The dermatologist had us using a protopic cream 2x per day for 6 weeks. I wish I could say she was "clear", but she is not. I forgot to use the cream for 1 1/2 days last week and the rash came back worse than before. The rash is not contagious, it just looks yucky and bothers The Princess a lot when it is bad.

Tomorrow I take The Superhero for his quarterly endo appointment. My dad asked me why I even take him for these appointments. We do all the adjusting on our own. The only reasons we go I guess are to get his A1C and to hear how great she thinks we are doing. Somehow that helps me keep plugging along with Diabetes. I am not nervous at all this time around. Diabetes (knocking on wood) has been ok lately.
