Update on McKay

He is doing REALLY well.

Once he started the Prednisone the blisters that were forming on his hand started to receede. As the days went by, the blisters never burst or opened into lesions. Instead it just became a kind of shrively bit of blister.

His hand has started to go down with swelling, and it was rather bruised-looking for awhile, but now it is looking good.

I have to think with the quick treatment (usually they don't start treatment until after the blisters have burst and caused lesions, since people generally don't worry a lot until then--and they don't figure it out until then), we've been really lucky.

Thank you all for the prayers and kind thoughts.
