Nathan's Doctor Appointment

We are home from our quick visit to Denver.
We drove to Billings on Sunday
Caught a 6 a.m. flight Monday morning to Denver
Took a city bus to The Children's Hospital
Ate breakfast
Checked in for appt
DR came in & asked a few questions, reviewed his blood work that I brought with us, & wanted Nate to have a CT scan & some blood work
Had CT scan - looked at his lungs -
DR said looks good! He can start a month long wean to stop taking the oral steroids but continue taking the immunosuppressant medication
Went for blood work
We took a city bus to the Denver Zoo & back to the hospital
Waited for a shuttle for a ride to the airport
Arrived Billings 11:24 p.m.
Came home Tuesday afternoon.

Overall it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. She (the DR) thought that after reviewing the blood work it looked as if he (Nathan) had maybe had an "epidsode" of whatever it is that is wrong with him in March. Because his hemoglobin or hematicrit had a significant drop from the previous blood drawing a month earlier. He was sick at that time & I had taken him to the local DR too.
