Lola is Out!

So we got discharged yesterday evening and Lola is doing well. She had an EKG, DEXA bone density scan, and more fasting labs and then Dr. Garg and Dr. Amady went over her lab and scan results with us. Her MrI's confirm fat loss throughout her entire body and confirms the lipodystrophy diagnosis. He will be working in conjunction with her endocrinologist Dr. Kauffman in Albuquerque to lower her sugars and triglycerides. He feels that because of all her steroids and many meds that she is on right now that she isn't ready for the Leptin treatment now. Which is a good thing. He will also be wanting to have Dr. Pachman lower her Prednisone as low as possible which will help with the insulin resistant diabetes. She does have a fatty liver which is why it's enlarged and her triglycerides are high. We will have to come back to see him next year unless she gets more out of control. He wants to keep in contact with us via email which is nice and comforting. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. She is a brave one, my Lola.
