Tonight we (or rather I, since I need to be able to do it as well) gave SP her 2nd Methotrexate injection. Like the amazing trooper she is, she let out a cry but didn't pull away.
So far we have seen a decrease in the swelling in her wrist, but not an amazing difference, really hoping a few more shots do the trick so we can avoid another corticosteroid injection. I'm not apposed to it, the one in her knee was amazing! But being honest here, we're losing our insurance due to job loss, so the stress of that is pretty dang high right now. I'm not currently sure how Cobra insurance works, but that is what we hope to get and be able to afford until new employment and employee benefits are found.
When you have a child with medical needs you require not only good health insurance but great health insurance, those surgeries, smaller procedures, doctor and specialist visits add up- plus the time on the road away from your job, gas, meals, etc... So if possible please say a prayer that new employment is found ASAP.
Overall SP is doing great!
