At present, Jillian and the children are away on holiday for a few days with family friends in Northampton. We are grateful for Bill and Elizabeth's willingness to have them with them for the next few days. I have now arrived back in Livingston to find a message from Rebekah's consultant on our answerphone.
The latest tests that were carried out have come back with positive news and as a result following a consultation between the Rheumatology team and Neurology Consultant they have decided to start the reduction process of her steroids. From next week we will reduce her dose by 1mg. This will be a very slow gradual reduction as the Consultants believe that they need to take it very slowly indeed. So once she has been on this dose for a month we will have a further discussion with them to ascertain as to whether we can reduce the steroids further.
This is a very important milestone as we need to find out whether her condition which has been medicated to date flares back up as the dose of medication given is reduced.
Thank you all once again for your continued prayer support for Rebekah and the rest of the family.
Jonathan, Jillian, Abigail, Rebekah & David.
