Well, today has just flown by. We were a bit anxious for today's appointment with Dr. Lewis because it seems that some of Corey's symptoms were coming back a bit. Last Friday after having a bad morning with the cancellations of his heart appointments and some other stresses, we decided to get away and just go camping over night. That day all day, Corey was having really bad sweats and again at night. They've been coming back a lot again it seems so we were concerned. Then on Sunday he went fishing and came home with very swollen ankles that were starting to hurt a little to walk on. So we called the Dr on Monday and left a message. We decided to wait until today (Wednesday) since we already had an appointment scheduled.
So today, we met with Dr Lewis to go over how he's doing and he actually wasn't too concerned that his symptoms are coming back a little bit. He said that with Sarcoidosis, this is very common having symptoms come back a little bit. He actually said we don't need to be too concerned unless they come back for a long period of time. SO for now we're not too concerned, but be sure I'll be watching him closely! :) Dr. Lewis also lowered his Prednisone dosage so he's only on 40mg now! YAY!!! So we'll see how he does with that. Dr Lewis did say to really watch to make sure they don't come back because if they do, he'll raise it back up again. So I'll be watching.
We also stopped by the Cardiologist to pick up his 24 hour EKG Halter Monitor. So he's wearing that until 1:57 tomorrow afternoon. :) Hopefully that comes back normal becase his EKG wasn't. Next Thursday is when we have his Echocardiogram, so may not have any updates since then unless we get the EKG results tomorrow when we take back the monitor tomorrow.
So until then....Ciao!
