It's been a very long week this week.
We saw the Paediatric Registrar on Tuesday, who agreed that Imogen had improved enough to begin the Methotrexate. However nobody on the ward was qualified to do it this week as it needs to be administered by a Chemotherapy trained nurse. It is now set for next Friday at 10 am. It is still going to take another 6-8 weeks to begin working.
To continue her treatment Imogen was put on oral steroids to help deal with the swelling and painful joints. However, sadly this has not been the case. As of this evening, Imogen is back in full flare of all 8 joints.
We go back up for another round of IV steroids on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, she has physio on Thursday and then Methotrexate Friday. Oh joy another all weeker :(
