Caden has finished his week on the steroid, and wow!, the difference was drastic! His last dose was Wednesday morning and so it was time to follow up with Dr. Omar to learn about the next step. He's decided to try Cade on Qvar, a steroid inhaler for the next two months and see if that continues to do the trick. When I asked what exactly we'd be treating Cade for, the answer I received was, "well, it's a trial and error period." And, I'm okay with that (as long as we are still working toward the solution). From here we'll continue progressing as though it's asthma and hope the inhaler makes a difference. We'll need to help him use it 2-3 times a day and it should decrease the inflammation through his airways.
Like I said to Jarin last night: This shall be interesting!
