Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts for . It took about 4 hours of heating pads on his knees, but he was finally able to walk around lunchtime yesterday. He seemed ok for the rest of the day. This morning he was a little slow, but was able to move around and insisted on going to school. His doctors office finally called back this morning and ask that we get him checked for Strep, they are thinking that this latest problem might be triggered by an illness. Of course I cannot get an appt with his ped until monday AM, so ill be taking him in then. For now i told her we will just keep watching him, seeing as he was able to go to school this morning. Otherwise we could move his next infusion up or could try Kineret. Im not ready to move to kineret yet, call me stubborn, but Nick has done really really well on remicade until now and im just not ready to give up on it. Kineret has a 50/50 track record here from what the nurse was telling me they have been seeing. She also told me she does not think the shot is as painful as humira, which is good news I guess ( if we do go down that road) So for now, ill watch him, spring break is next week, so he can rest and sleep as long as he likes which i think will do him good. We will rule out any other illness at the peds office and go from there. So thats about it.... hugs Helen ( who fell on the darn ice on the driveway and had to call into the house to get help this morning!!, nothing broken, but a sore, briused and scrapped up knee and pride!) and (8 systemic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
