Wonderful News!!!

If I have any readers left, you will be wondering what's gotten into Melissa. 2 posts in less than 24 hours, and it's finals week on top of it. This is not because of your prodding on FB, Angela :-) This is because we received wonderful news from the doctor today. And it has to do with Dee, so you can stop thinking that baby #3 is on the way.

Praise God--Dee is TOTALLY SARCOIDOSIS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! He had a CT scan last week and a breathing test today. Then, he met with this pulmonologist. Dr. D was excited to report that Dee's lungs look totally normal. Dee has been off of steroids for a few months now, and we were just praying that he would make progress and not have to get back on them. But God is good--not only does he not have to get back on steroids, he can get off of his other meds as well!

Dr. D said that he wishes all of his patients could heal with only 13 months of steroids. Dee goes back in one year to make sure that nasty stuff is gone for good.

I have been itching to post all day, but blogger wouldn't let me sign on at work for some reason. So let's scream together--YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!
