Isaac and Imuran, so far so good

Isaac continues to do well. His latest bloodwork showed lower 6-TG levels than his doc wants to see, so we are slightly increasing his consumption of Azathioprine (Imuran). Instead of every other day doses he is now getting 5 doses a week. We continue to taper his prednisolone. We have another doctor's appointment tomorrow.

6-TG is a derivative of thiopurine. There is a lot to learn. If you're interested, you can start with this article which deals specifically with IBD. In that article, you, like me, might get a little excited about giving such a drug to a young'un. But having said that, our doctor understands and is concerned about the risks and we are monitoring Isaac closely while he is introduced to this drug (for the first several months) to make sure his body tolerates it just fine.

The poop scoop: We remain in a phase of normal poops.
