Re: As MY blood pressure drops...

YEAHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!! Wow, that is all around even better news

than I had hoped for :-) Talk about a walking testimony for Prednisone!

I am just rejoicing on this one. It is even more good news than we realized

on Luther King Day.

Tell to work harder in school though. Only two A+???? I know he can

do better than that :-) (just Kidding ) That young man has a great

head on his shoulders, and all he has endured will make him a wonderful man. I

know you must be so proud, and give him a hug from his IgAN family and tell him

how proud we are of him too. Outstanding performance !

long time it's nice to see it finally caught up with you and .

Congratulations to both, and you. I know, as a mother, we are

the best advocate, and that takes much energy! But we wouldn't have

it any other way. I do hope that counts go smoothly for a

long time, forever. He is also an amazing student. Take care, Phyllis
