Re: [jra]Fwd: About Cushings & Prednisone & Missing A Dose

May 2, 2000

Hi Ywellen,

Josh had to miss a dose of MTX once and the doctor said he might feel a

little worse off because of it, in a week or two, but he didn't. He was

fine. Hope the same will be true for Drese. Sometimes overdoing the

physical activity can catch up with the kids. While I may mention my

concerns to Josh, I try to let him be in charge of what kind of things

he can do and how far he can push himself. Sometimes he's willing to

chance it to have a really good time, even if he may be a little more

sore the next day. Other times he declines an invitation to participate

in certain activities.

Take care,

Georgina

PS ... thanks for pronouncing your name. It's a very pretty name
