Ethan's first day on his meds went better than I thought or imagined it would. He went to School today and felt pretty good. The pills taste so bitter, and leave a bad after taste so I am so proud of him for taking all 12 of them with little complaint. Some Chocolate mini eggs helped too :) I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the texts, emails and prayers. I have felt such a peace today, I know that God is answering our prayers. The side effects will show up soon so praying that they will be more manageable this time. Although this is the highest dose he has ever been on, so not sure what will happen.
We did notice that this afternoon/evening Ethan is going to the bathroom a lot, which is a good sign. This means that the prednisone is working already to get rid of the extra fluid he has retained. He also started to get very hungry since he came home from School, and now that it is bed time, he is in NO WAY tired! This is what I was afraid of, praying for a good night's sleep for us all!
