Hi everyone

Just a quick update to say that my husband is a lot better and responding well to the shunt. His staples are out and his walking has really improved.

Thank you for all your support it means a lot.

I’m going to start tapering tomorrow to 4.5mg now things have settled down a bit.

Try to rest up yourself when you can though!

That’s just the best news Sue. Big loves to you both. You are getting there! Are you sure about dropping just yet? There’s no hurry at this stage. 🌈

Fab news Sue. Apologies for late reply. You've gone through a rough time and I guess you will stay busy for a while yet, so suggest there is no rush for dropping dose/tapering at this time. All the best to you both,
