Thank you to everyone who prayed for Steve. Sunday he was very sick. He developed a fever that went as high as 100.5. He also threw-up. I was worried about him taking the thalidomide and possible vomiting it up so I called the doctor. He said hold off taking the medicine and start the antibiotics. Come Monday morning Steve was feeling so much better. No fever, no getting sick and the body aches were gone!
Today we went for Steve's first follow-up since starting the new treatment. Dr. D. said Steve will continue on the MPT and begin the second cycle Friday (Whoo Hoo! Steroid Man Returneth!). Even though its to early to tell if the treatment is working she did say that both his total protein and M-spike were down slightly! This was good news for us to hear. She's ordering a new bone survey for two reasons, first because its been almost 6 months since the last one and second, Steve's left arm has been getting weaker.
Love, Deanna
