Done with December Prednisone

Today was the last of 5 days of high dose Prednisone, what they call a "Prednisone Flash". Emily did better this month than last month with the food cravings and puffiness, but yesterday she started to get depressed and it got a little worse today. We still managed to have a nice, and productive weekend.

We got a lot of Christmas decorating started and some of the big stuff out of the way. On Saturday morning Emily and I went and got a tree. We got a really nice one, probably the fullest tree we have ever had. It took some doing, and two stands to put up, but it's up. I also cleaned the gutters and put the lights on the front of the house. We also got out all the decoration, for all over the house but didn't get much of them up, that will happen over the next few days. Tracy worked today/Sunday so we didn't get as much done and needed some rest after yesterday.

Last night we went out for dinner, for sushi. We went to our favorite place in Mt. View. After dinner we went out for Ice Cream at Rick's in Palo Alto, they actually still make their own ice cream. Emily and I highly recommend the Industrial Chocolate, it's really good.

This coming week Emily will have labs. We are also going to see Dr Link since he was out last week, to go over the results of the CT.

It sounds like this was a good weekend for you. My daughter's family also went to cut down their tree and I was invited to help them put it up. It is a special time of year. Today we went to the San Jose Holiday Parade in downtown San Jose. It is a family tradition and I have the best time watching the parade with my children and grandchildren - I highly recommend it - if you like parades. We go down at about 7 and get a spot along the parade route and have hot chocolate and donuts. Its a very fun thing to do. I am glad to hear how well Emily is doing.
Have a great week.
