Daring to be hopeful

Kathryn got a 4th and last drug study IV on December 17. She had symptoms after each infusion so we believe that she did get 4 IVs of Neridronate instead of placebo.

We did not hear until recently that Neridronate infusions can take a while to work, up to 40 days. It’s been less than a week for her but for a few hours of a few days her pain has gone down to a 6 on a 1-10 scale. When Kathryn’s CRPS pain goes to a 6 or lower she walks without her crutch and we see a little more energy and higher function. All of this has us daring to be hopeful and thankful for your prayers!

I lift up my eyes to the hills.
    From where does my help come?
 My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth    Psalm 121 ESV

Merry Christmas to you all! May God bless and keep you.
