Quick update: Sadie's Remicade infusion went very well, nothing to report of. The one medication that she is taking Imuran (which replaces the Methotrexate) has caused Sadie to have an allergic reaction, so we removed her from that and re-introduced the medication after the hives cleared up to confirm that was what made her break out. Yesterday we removed her from that medication again as the hives are back. We will know about another plan of action soon on this.
Sadie was to have joint injections done Monday, but that was cancelled. We arrived at 6:30, checked in, got to a pre opp room and then waited. 7:45 the doctor came in to discuss some things and then advised that they were running late due to the fact the operating room had some standing water issue and that the roof was leaking. About 20 minutes later we were advised that they were canceling all out patient surgery, so we went home. We still have not been able to get this re-scheduled. Not only is Children's now backed up but there was question about how much damage had been done to some equipment. Hopefully we will know more soon.
Sadie and I were able to visit some of the University of Washington sorority houses yesterday to encourage them to join their sorority team and participate in the Jingle Bell Run. We had a lot of fun going to see the houses and share a little bit about how arthritis isn't something just "old people" get. Sadie was very, very tired and sore from what I considered a very limited amount of walking. I am concerned about her participation at the Walk, but am also hopeful that we will see some improvements for her soon.
Please keep her in your prayers.
