Day +49: Another quiet day

Just like we like them. No real news to report. She ate some Teddy Puffs and even had about 3 oz. of lactose-free milk today. They lowered her dose of steroids yesterday, and she's noticeably less puffy today. The skin rash on her legs is still worrisome. Today she was itching behind her right knee, where it has turned a dark red color. But it's still nothing like it was before, and it's only on her legs.

Mom and Dad leave early tomorrow morning. It's always sad to see them go. Next month they're going to England to see Eric, Astrid and Philippe, so it will be awhile before they come back here. Our old friends Chris and Carol are in town from Boston and will be here tomorrow and Sunday. It will be really nice to catch up.
