Megan had a pretty good day today. We've been very busy packing. Our preacher came by and annointed her. My parents are here and Jarod's parents will meet us in Nashville tomorrow to help with Dr. appts. So far we're not in Ronald McDonald House, but hopefully we will tomorrow. Thanks to all of you for the constant prayers and support you have given. You are each a blessing to our family. Check the webpage for further updates!

Love and Hugs,

Tanya

In case you forgot she is putting updates on : Open Original Shared Link

Heres the lastest entry...

FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2006 01:25 PM, CDT

I just heard from Megan's surgeon's office and the time of her surgery has been changed to 7:45 am next Tues (7/25). I'm not sure what happened to the baby scheduled before her, but please remember that family in prayer too.

She has a preop appt. at 1:15 on Monday, so we'll spend the night in Nashville. I pray we get into Ronald McDonald House. It's such a wonderful resource. It's full of families in similar situations and all the love you can imagine.

Megan seems to feel better today than she's felt in a long time. I'm glad she's feeling more like playing.she's been using her dress to play Peek-a-Boo and it's just adorable.

Thanks for all the messages and phone calls. We appreciate all the love, prayers and concerns from all of you. Hugs to all!

I just got off the phone with TCA. I read her the gist of the posts her and she said your all very sweet. :D They are in a hotle beucase there is no room in the Ron Mcdonal house right now, so they are on a wiating list.

Megan is doing well, she has GAINED SOME WIEGHT EVEN!! :) She is 17 pounds, 13 oz!Theres a team of docs treating her for this and one of them is a bit concerned about one of the "stats" being at 70% but other then that it looks like a good for surgry first thing tommorow am. They need to be there at 6am for it. Her step mom will be staying with Cole in the hotel so that both Mom and Dad cna go in with Megan.

After the surgy Megan will be in Pedi Intensive Care for "couple" of weeks then moved to a regular room.

After the surgry she will call her sister, and her sister will update Megan's site with teh most current info, so make sure your watching that tommorow.

Thats everything I know at this time!

END UPDATE!

I too will set my alarm for your 6:00 am 'send off' into the journey toward good health and healing, little megan. You are one precious little child to us all.

love

Judy

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
