Hello Family & Friends!
Dr. Jha just called Matt, personally. He believes that Matt definitely has Rheumatoid Arthritis and that is what is making his scarring in his lungs worse. Dr. Jha is going to go ahead and start Matt on a long round of Prednisone plus another steroid called Cellcept. He will be on them for at least 2-3 months. Unfortunately, the Rheumatologist is booked until May. We are hoping that maybe Dr. Jha can get him into another specialist or get him a much earlier appointment.
Until our next update, take care.
~Matt & Erin
