I wish I could report that everything was great with sweet little Molly. I noticed today that her left knee is swollen now, which until now has been unaffected . I thought we had things under control and even though she occasionally complained of something hurting she didn't let it hold her back. I had to reschedule her follow up visit that was supposed to at the beginning of July and they couldn't get us in any sooner than Aug. 26. When I finally got someone to call me back from Scottish Rite to tell them that she was 2 weeks late on her lab work, mostly to check her liver function while on the Methotrexate. The mailed me lab orders, which took another week. So we got her lab work done yesterday, a month later. It wouldn't be a big deal except we needed a refill for Methotrexate and can't get one until she had her lab work. So, now we wait for them to send a refill...I'm hoping sometime next week. In the meantime, we're out, which means she'll miss a dose or two or three, depending on how long it takes them to get me the refill.
In all of this we are still so blessed that we're all healthy, that Molly hasn't had any fevers (say a prayer and knock on wood) and that Molly (from what I can tell) has a high tolerance for pain or she's so determined that she doesn't let it hold her back. Although I wouldn't wish arthritis on anyone, especially a sweet innocent (maybe not so innocent) child, Molly definitely has the spirit in her to fight it and come out on top. That child does not let ANYTHING slow her down! And for that I'm very grateful.
