A Strange Answer To A Prayer

I feel like we have had to make so many big decisions lately, that I almost want to crawl under a rock. But life has a way of forcing us to decide. One decision was about Ryan's treatment. Last week the Md's said we should go right to a new medication for Ryan, but because it is experimental I was concerned. So I have been praying to know what to do. The Md's said that we could try steroids again and see if it has any effect since steroids have a lot less negative side effects than the shots. We were instructed to start the steroids when he had a flare-up and try it for 5 days. We were told that it would work within a day or two. So the next day he started with a flare-up, we started the medication and he seemed to only get worse, not better. At first I was frustrated, however, I soon realised that this was an answer. I know that no one wants their child to get "sicker" with treatment, but in this case, I needed to know for sure. AND I am grateful for the guidance we have been given. Now if I could come up with some winning lottery numbers so I could hire a maid, chef, nanny and personal trainer, then we would be in business! JK.
