Well today it was official! I know we copied Dr. Lewis' email but we had Corey's actual appointment today and it was official! Corey no longer needs to go in for his routine checkups every month or his CT scans because there is no sign of Sarcoid in him. SO Corey doesn't have to go back in for EIGHT months!!! YAY!!! Huge praise report! He has to stay on his Prednisone for that time but it's only 10 mg and then if it stays gone for the 8 months, then he'll ween him off of it. Dr. Lewis just told us to pay attention to any little thing that may not seem right in his body, the aching joints, breathing, vision, etc. He made sure we have his number and email just in case symptoms come back, but I have faith that they won't! :)
This is so exciting!! Just thought I would share the exciting confirmation!
How Much Longer???

Miracles!!
You know, it's so amazing to me the power of prayer and how it seems like just yesterday Corey and I thought our entire world had turned upside down! Well, today proves that prayer works! We went in for his CT Scan which Dr. Lewis said he'd need every 3 months for a while, just to monitor everything and to make sure everything stays "at bay" and under control. We have been praying that it all goes well. Well, we already got the results from Dr. Lewis himself. Below is the email we received from him this afternoon:
Corey and Melinda,
The last CT scan looks great! I have not seen sarcoid lymph nodes shrink so much as yours have. I recommend reducing the prednisone to 10mg (1/2 tablet) every day until you see me some time later this month. I will be in Tacoma on September 29th and should be able to see you that day.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Can you beleive it?!?! First Corey was the worst case he'd seen, now he's the fastest healing he's ever seen! It's so wonderful to know that our lives are getting back to normal! Can you tell I'm happy? :)
Well, it's a great way to start off the weekend and again, as I always say on my Facebook, I'm so excited for what the future holds, because no matter what it is, I know that we can handle it together!
Thanks for the continued prayers everyone!! We GREATLY appreciate them!
