Sorry, KL.
It's a hard situation to go thru and there is no "knowing" what is to come, what is to be. Just like other non-MS peeps. I don't know how old DD is or what it might be appropriate to share w her. If she is a grown daughter, can you share your fear w her? Face it together?
If she is a child, I just don't know.
It is common to have flares this time of year. The MS Clinic nurses call the treatment, "Christmas Steroids."
I hope things get better all around for you.
