Doesn't it always seem like things happen in clusters. I call them "cluster bombs". This week was my daughter's first week of going to school for an entire day and my son's first time in Kindergarten. My husband had to travel for work and was gone all week except for the first day of school. My father is still in the hospital (9 days now) with heart troubles and they said there is not much else they can do for him. It is a matter of his other veins taking over the work of the one that collapsed! It always seems to be all or nothing for us. I guess that is God's way of not leaving me time to focus on any one thing at a time. My son is 5 years old and is on approximately 9 mgs. of cortef. He is 43 pounds and 46 inches tall. I know the doseage is different for each child, but I just thought I'd share that with you to see that you are going in the right direction. My email is ltorony@CT2.nai.net and I would love to hear from you.
