GOOD NEWS..........

Good news....... Mom called this morning and said Dad was responding wonderfully to the Predisone.He took his first dose of 60mil. yesterday and felt alot different in a matter of hours. He felt so much better today he wanted to go see his brother Willie (who is sick) in Wichita Falls. He even wanted to go mow the yard in town. Told him he couldn't . He was even arguing with mom that he could. So the doctor told us if he responded well with predisone then she had probably diagonosed the sickness correct. Hopefully he can gain some of the weight back he had lost and feel out alittle . I am sure with the predisone he will. Mom said he was looking in the refrig. for something to eat...thats a good sign.

Have a good week! School starts tomorrow here. Roper is NOT READY...... says he is too smart for school.

That's good news about Joe. Be sure you tell your Mom that he needs to keep having blood test to check on his liver. That Predisone works great but is hard on the liver.

Yes...Thanks, I will . I am hoping he doesn't have to stay on the Predisone for a long time. I am also worried about the high blood pressure it seems to mess with and also the ostoroposis.
