All Is Good

Well, as most of you already know Preston tested positive for Pulmanory Taberculosis (TB) at the beginning of September. His is NOT active. After he tested positive they asked me to get tested, and I tested negative. About 2 or so weeks ago we went in and saw a doctor. She put Preston on an antibiotic he will have to take for 9 months, as well as his Daily Vitamin. He was also given 800 ib profin to use if he gets any pain; he cannot take tylenol or any other medications like that, medication that will be processed through his liver. Also he was given a Vitamin B6 pill to take if his hands and feet start to tingle or get numb. We have to go into this doctor once a month for them to do blood tests to make sure his body is accepting the medications and to check to make sure his liver and kidneys are doing okay as well. His next doctors appointment is the 21st of this month. Preston is feeling pretty good, he is just tired a lot. We will keep everyone updated!
