6/13-Prednisone

Hi Friends and Family,

I saw Dr. Handley today. It's been 2 weeks and I just finished my last of the antibiotic today that I was taking. I got a chest X-ray first. Dr. Handley was able to compare that with my last CT scan. He said he did not see any changes. When he listened to my lungs he did hear some rattling from both lungs. I don't feeling any worse and even a little bit better. He was able to rule out Valley fever and a couple other lung problems from the blood test I had done. So this leaves me with Radiation Pneumonia. Since the lungs are sounding worse I need to treat it with the prednisone steroid. I will take a dose that tapers down until it is done. Then I will visit the Dr. in 3 weeks and do another x-ray and a breathing analysis too. So right now I am praying for all the side effects to be null and void in me. I believing for it to do it's job and nothing else. This steroid is meant to treat any inflammation in my lungs. Thanks for praying with me through this new little mountain I have to climb. All and all we are doing good. Lexie finishes 2nd grade on Friday and Trinity is graduating from Pre-School tomorrow. We are all looking forward to a fun Summer.

Blessings to you all!! Glory to God!!!!

Love, Peggy

Peggy, it was such a blessing to speak with you yesterday! I hope that your first dose proved to be non-eventful. That is what I ask is for this episode be non-eventful and non-repetitive. No more of this stuff, you've been through enough! I will continue to pray for you and if you need to talk, give me a call...even if for some ODD reason you are having an insomniac moment. Manuel gets called out in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning sometimes so we are use to the phone ringing at odd hours. Anytime. Okay?
