CURRENT MELD SCORE = 14. SO FAR SO GOOD. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, MY LABS LOOK GOOD, FOR ME. THEY STILL HAVENT CALLED TO DECREASE THE PREDNISONE. MAYBE TODAY? (WHO KNOWS). I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 13TH OF THIS MONTH TO SEE DR. PERRI. IM HOPING I CAN COME OFF THE PREDNISONE COMPLETELY BY THEN. BOY WOULD THAT BE NICE.
