My daughter Kelsey is doing well. She responded to medications very

quickly and is now off Prednisone, but ona high dose of Imuran and a

mild dose of Entocort. She is one increadible kid, a good positive

attitude and a huge heart. The only problem we are having right now

is the battle at her school with a lice epidemic, 15% of the student

population is infected. Kels has already had 3 treatments of the lice

shampoo back in March because she did get it, its still rampnat in

her classroom and the treatments make her feel very ill. I am

currently in the process of having her transferred to another school

in September that would give her a healthier enviornment.

Trish, I am really glad Kelsey is doing better! About the lice….well,

3 of the 20 in my class are home with lice. Tis the season! I just look at

each one carefully as I walk about the classroom…we have it all the time

and it just doesn’t seem to always go away. Little girls with long hair

giggle and laugh together, and those little kids just LOVE to share.

Have you considered an essential oil treatment? It is less toxic. Also,

if you put baby oil, or just make sure her hair is oilier than normal, the

little guy will just slide off. The cleaner the hair, the easier it is to get

those little “friends”.

We have delt with this before. My daughter 2 at the time was

allergic to the treatment and we had to buy one of the metal combs

and basically just comb them out of her hair daily until we got them

all. There are some natural treatments too. One is putting a whole

jar of mayonaise on her head and then a shower cap for I believe 15

minutes to smother them. LOL! I didn't try it but it sounds

feasible and it won't hurt her hair. Good luck. It can be a huge

frustration!

IU listed my ALT (635) AST (210) in another message but I can't find

Albium. There is Albumin. It was within normal range (4.5) Normal

is 3.0-5.5.
