We went to Emory Friday for a routine Dr. visit. All is just fine with Charmaine now. She still has excessive iron deposits on her liver but is taking a new drug called Ex Jade to correct it. It will take some time, maybe a year to go away. The side effects of the drug are very mild and livable.
Charmaine was home for the snow. I can't imagine that beauty without her seeing it here.
The Dr. told her she could go to church again now. She is so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excited. Been trying on clothes all evening getting ready. We will go tomorrow morning for the first time in over a year.
Just can't sit close to a large group.
We now are going every three weeks to the clinic.
The only new thing she has going on is a cramp on her left side in the lower hip area during the night sometimes. Can't figure out exactly what is causing it. Fells like in the muscle not the bone which is a good thing. She is still taking steroids which can cause some joint problems over a long use.
Her daily routine is very near normal now. It is unusual for her to even take a nap now during the day.
Will try to update you all weekly on her progress.
Thanks for all the prayers for Charmaine.
Sam
