Noah had a few follow up appointments this past month and all of his doctors see improvement, physically. I say physically because there's been zero issues with him mentally - he's still the same Noah, just smarter because he's maturing, learning every day through this experience and from being homeschool. He has been down to the very minimum dose of his steroids for a few weeks now (which is equivilent to the normal amount of cortisol the body produces), and will be tested in 6-8 weeks to determine if he can stop steroids, completely. He's also lost ~6 pounds. :)
We will be celebrating Noah's 6th birthday (September 19th), this month and he's very excited. This is truly another major milestone in his life and testimony of God's blessings. We were told that within months of his diagnosis we would see a rapid decline in his health physically/mentally and, we wouldn't see his 5th birthday. We are so grateful.
