I've waited a couple extra days to be sure before posting an update.... but Lance has slept all night for three nights in a row now without us having to get up and put creams on for the itching AND his rash is definitely looking better!! Iowa City has told us that he can't go off his steroids completely if he still has any rash. Thursday the 8th is the day he is suppose to stop steroids completely so we are praying it will be all gone by then!! We have gone through lots of steroid cream, three bottles of aloe, a large box of baking soda and many many Vitamin E capsules (my newest idea several days ago was to cut them open and put the oil on Lances rash) ..... but we haven't had to up the oral steroids!!!! Thank you all for your prayers!
Well I'm telling you we have one clean garage!! Don't know how long that will last but it looks good today! Funny thing happened... Elisabeth and I were just finishing up out there and decided to scrub his work bench with Lysol... Well we scrubbed and scrubbed and were so proud of how clean we got it! We got off all these old stains...old paint, glue... all sorts of stuff that had been there forever, stuff from all Lance's projects... We brought Lance out to show him and he took one look at it and said it doesn't look like I've ever done anything.... He didn't look happy like we thought he would!! I guess when it comes to a man and his work bench sparkling clean is not a good thing! ---Penny
Oh, that is too funny about the bench! I guess all those stains were like a badge of honor. :) Soooo happy to hear that Lance's rashes are better and he is closer to getting off the steroids. Yay, God!!! Love you guys--and miss you.
ReplyDeleteSo that is what Gary does...Slops up the bench and then tells me how hard he worked while I was gone ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, keep up the fight. A bit of a rash beats Bad blood-any day. Love to all...
Living in a house full of boys, I would say that a clean workbench is probably as bad as a body with no scars to show off :-)
