Update...

Well, this is what the Doc told us today...we should probably limit Kaylee's activities to "around the house" type things through Sunday, and then perhaps after that only one "major" activity/day. He doesn't think that all we've done this past week brought on this 2nd round of HSP, but it didn't help either. We'll "up" her meds (prednisone) and then Kaylee will have to go in each week for the next 6 weeks for blood workup and other tests. He is positive about it resolving itself...but for now we need to "take it easy." He said in his years of practice, he has only "managed" 2 other cases of HSP...one was recurring and finally resolved after about 5 months...and the other within a month...hopefully Kaylee's body can be back to full health sooner than later...

BTW...she woke up last night about 2:30 am, with major stomach cramps...threw up abouts 4 am, then again at 8 am...slept the morning away and woke up with a HUGE appetite and is "fine."

PS...she doesn't seem too upset (meaning she doesn't cry every time we bring it up now) about the fact she has to go in for blood work every week...her request is that they use a butterfly needle.

O..PPS...THANK YOUS to all of you who call and ask about her or bring her little "gifts"...she perks right up whenever she hears a message on the answering machine from one of her aunts/uncles asking about her...and looks forward to calling them back to chat!! So, THANK YOU for caring about her!!
