Almeda asked me to write her report tonight. She has had a strenuous day going to the Doctor to see if he could get her something to relieve the symptoms she was having. tonight at 4:30 she saw Dr. Garcia who gave her a lozenge that is intended to change the chemistry in her mouth and ease her discomfort. He carefully explained that her underlying symptoms suggested the possibility of a dire outcome if she did not continue massive dosage of the corticosteroid. I think that both she and I have the message. she has resumed her proper dosage and has my personal sympathy. Looking back, the day was a classical collaborative effort of Karen, Rex, Kaye to get their mother and me to do what we now know we must do. Only time will will serve the outcome, but all will know they have done what they could. This is Dad for Mom.
