- Hope your extreme fatigue passes quickly and

you are feeling better soon.

Vicki - Sorry this cold is dragging on for so long. I

worry about you living all alone. Do you have

neighbors or friends you can rely on to help you?

's Dr. visit went well yesterday. She didn't

lower his Prendisone dosage. I was disappointed about

that but he is growing so fast that I guess in a way

it is lowering. He didn't have to have labs done. He

is always thankful for that. He was asked to run down

the hall and back. On the way back he threw in a

somersault and bounced right back up. We don't have

to go back for 2 months. His Bone Density test was

cancelled as the tech was sick. That was rescheduled

for a few weeks from now. I am very interested in

what that is going to show us.

Help! My brother in law suffers from a disease that

doesn't let your liver process iron correctly.

Hemo...something. I can't remember the name. He goes

in twice a week to have blood taken to try and lower

his iron count. Anyway, he is 41 years old and the

bloodletting has taken so much out of him that he is

no longer able to work. Would he qualify for SSI?

How would he go about getting started on the

paperwork. Thanks in advance for any help. He hopes

to be back to " normal " in 6 - 12 months and then he

will just have to give blood every few months, or

whatever his body needs to keep the iron level at a

safe level. Right now, all he wants to do is sleep.

Thanks and hugs,

Cari
