Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Well, I think I was very stressed yesterday morning when I typed the email to you all and apparently too impatient. After giving Mason the Prednisone, within two hours he was feeling back to his normal little self. As a matter of fact, I think I sat there in amazement for atleast an hour just watching him play. Mason has been dealing with fevers since early 2003 ... and this is the first time we've ever given him Prednisone as was recommended by NIH. I was completely in awe that a drug can take how awful he was feeling away in a matter of a couple hours and gave me back my happy little boy. When my husband returned home from work, he just couldn't believe it. He said " Are you sure he was sick with fever? " And I couldn't even be upset by the dumb question, because it truly was a significant change from what he was like yesterday morning. I am hoping and praying this was his last fever ... he generally only fevers about once every 3 months now; however, normally gets symptoms without the fevers much more often than that. But those fevers are what are always so scary ... and to be honest, I hadn't seen him look so bad in quite awhile and kinda freaked. But thanks for letting me know your experience with the Prednisone. Unfortunately, this is the only time we are allowed to use ... due to his intestinal issues and his Surgeon asking that we not use it more than this once. But what a miracle drug it is for these bizarre fevers. Take care and thanks for letting me vent yesterday. Heidi Mommy of Mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
