Today was a busy day. Rach had her rehab at the pool which I finally was able to get some time to go down there with her. She was pretty tuckered out but she battles through her rehab exercises. She is one tough cookie.
She started her Solu-Medrol, a 1000 mg dose of steroids, to reduce any swelling. The doctor said it's enough steroids to "jump start an elephant". She also started her chemo-therapy today too with a dose of Cytoxan. Since they believe Susac's is an auto-immune disease they are suppressing her immune system. In a sense they are shutting her immune system down and "rebooting" it.
Please be aware that if you have any colds, flu or think you're sick, try to avoid Rach, she'll be very susceptible to infections.

I knew Rach was a tough girl, she takes after you dad...
How long will she have to take the Cytoxin and Solumedrol.
It is going to be a tough hall for her. Let her know that we love her and send hugs and kisses.
