The Unwanted Flare-up
Well, today Matthew went to his rheumatologist to see what is going on with the Wegener's Disease. Unfortunately, after two years of being nearly symptom-free, he had another flare up. The dreaded word, "flare-up". So, probably next week he will begin another round of Rituximab treatments. The last time he had treatments was right before Elsie was born, over 2 years ago. They told him he would probably need another treatment in 6 months, but it's been 28 months, so we're thankful! I won't embarrass him by posting pictures of him two years ago, but suffice to say, his eyes and face looked tired. It is just amazing how good he's been. I hope that by catching it early this time he is able to get back on track towards REMISSION... the blessed word.
sorry to hear that. but, thankful it's been so long since last he struggled. praying!!!! love you guys.
