Smile Hi Tbarney!
Hello there!

It was my "scheduled" monthly IV IG - if I need a quick "pick me up", I'll go back in and have another PICC line put in.....God willing, I won't!

My neuro thinks I'm stabile enough now to go without monthly treatments, but you never know! I do love the fact that I am now down to 20 mgs of pred......maybe I'll finally look like a woman again! LOL

I had my line in for 5 months - an eternity in my book - and would reduce my pred after my monthly visit. I have a very aggressive neuro who does not want to see me crash AGAIN! Did I mention how much I love this man?I will not miss my weekly visits to have my line flushed @ all, though I will miss the nurses.

The whole goal is to get me down to 20 mgs of pred every other day - 15 just made me crash......

We'll see how it goes......if you pray, please do so for me! I would love to not have to go the hospital again - EVER!

Big, big hugs!
Erin
