As many of you know, Michael has not been feeling well for the last few months. He also lost his appetite because everything he ate made his stomach hurt. We were really concerned because all during Christmas vacation he layed on the couch and slept alot and he kept losing weight. Last week he hit a low of 92 lbs. (He has lost over 1/3 of his body weight in the last year.) If you look at pictures, it is really evident how much weight he has lost.
Last Summer when Jacob and Gayle came to visit.
Taken last week. 
I talked to his doctor this week and he said it takes a while (a couple of months) for the medication to really take effect. (After his latest colonoscopy and endoscopy Dec. 12, the Dr. put him back on Prednisone for a few months and upped the dosage of his other medication.)
School started again on Monday and, thankfully, he has felt a lot better this week. I think one thing that has helped is me demanding that he eat certain things the last few weeks.
Hopefully, he will continue to feel better. Here is a sampling of his daily pill regime:
Here are the pills he takes everyday:
