So in between the eye surgery and multiple eye appointments we also had some other excitement in December.
The best news being SP's daddy received two job offers and accepted one that keeps us local- so no moving, no changing schools and no changing doctors or hospitals! Yay! Oh yeah, having a steady income is also a nice plus ;)
SP also had two appointments with her Rheumatologist, and while things have improved with her wrist
she still has some inflammation in there and while her neck has improved from 15% to 60% range of motion the Dr would like to see her up to 90% or more. So in addition to Methotrexate(MTX) SP started on Humira as well. SP will continue to get the MTX as weekly injections and the Humira she will receive as bi-monthly(twice a month) injections.
And a MRI was ordered for SP for her neck, that is scheduled the end of January.
One of our appointments was on Christmas Eve and the hospital staff went around giving out stuffed animals!
How sweet and definitely cheered SP since she was not overjoyed to hear about the MRI.
She picked out a huge Purple Care Bear- a big thank you to Dupont and the wonderful donors who made those gifts possible!
Christmas also happened and our kids love Christmas :)
Visiting with Santa
Cookies!
SP's favorite gifts were new stuffed friends
After Christmas we were blessed and greatly surprised with free tickets for a bus trip to see Disney on Ice!
The kids had a wonderful time and I must admit it was magical!
And some Bear A Build gift cards as Christmas gifts also made for a fun winter break
The year started off with a great 1st Day Hike at our local state park. Chilly and fun!
We received her monthly Humira shipment and gave her the 1st injection on Saturday. She did throw up the next day, but we cannot say that was from the medicine or possibly from reflux. On Monday she felt great and she never stopped being her happy, bouncy self.
We have another eye follow-up next week and the MRI the end of January, but things are quieting down- which is wonderful after eye surgery and 6 appointments in December, we're all looking forward to some downtime.
