Off Predinsone!

Devin is finally off the predinsone. He does have a slight rash, we are not sure if it is a form of GVH or something else. I noticed Iain has the same rash off and on so I tend to think it may be grass related. Just to be sure, Devin has a topical steriod cream to put on his rash and if it is not cleared up in about a week, I will give a call.

His prograf (anti rejection drug, for lack of a better layman term) level has been consistantly low, apparently. Since he has been without any symptoms, they have left it alone. With this rash, we have temporarily upped his dosage from 1.5 ml to 1.8 ml twice a day. On our next visit, we will go over things and see where we stand.

Other than that, Devin is doing well. He got his progress report from school and is making all A's and B's. He is still struggling a bit with reading and being a phonetic speller but overall, he is doing very well with school. Cub Scouts have started again and he is working towards his Bear rank.
