Sorry to hear about your little girl. Maybe you can invite her here when she's down or bored so she can learn more about her condition and it always helps to divert the mind.

I just hope she's as comfortable as possible. I use a hydrocollator, a TENS unit, exercise balls, massage therapy, hospital bed & tray, and a couple of Tonkinese kittys if all else fails.

Worried mom if you have not hooked up with Mark, perhaps send him a private message asking for interpretation and maybe some doctor names.
I have been a suspect of having cyclical cushings disease and work very part time for DrTheodore Friedman in Los Angeles. He is really a world expert on the disease. I understand how the injections can cause too high a cortisol level and lead to cushings symptoms.
If you have any info or questions along that line please let me know.
Thinking about you,
judy
