Tuesday February 3rd, 2009

Gavin is still doing well. We went to see him today and the nurses were able to explain how he is improving. We also were able to talk to his other doctor (Dr. Jay). He explained that the nasal polyps are starting to shrink and that Dr. Cramer believes that the steriod he is on is actually reducing the polyps. When Dr. Cramer saw Gavin earlier in the morning he was able to see inside his nose with a small scope and could tell that they polyps were getting smaller. So they are going to quit using the nasal spray they started and continue with the steriod medication. They are working with the Pharmacy to get the steriod medication in a nasal spray so then Gavin won't have to take it through an IV anymore.
