How's the Prednisone working?

Well the Prednisone is working some. Matthew had a fever(103.5) and rash and aches this last Thursday morning. That was the first fever since he started the Prednisone a week and a day before. The Prednisone is making Matthew a a lot more "energetic" than he has been the last three months. I quote energetic though because he is a five year old boy and most of them are energetic any way. He is like he used to be before he got sick and then a little bit more :). It is really nice to see him with some energy and wanting to play more. The hard part right now is figuring out how much to let him do. So far I haven't limited his play. He has been sore the past 5-6 days, I think, because he was outside playing with his brother and cousin. He was going up and down a latter. He hasn't used his muscles much the last three months so the activity is going to work those muscles and make them sore. So I am not worried about the soreness so much, but the fever last week does concern me. I will be interested to see what his blood tests show. We will be getting blood drawn about the middle of this week so we should have the results back by the beginning of next week. Thank you all for your interest in our little guy and please continue to keep him in your prayers.
