I met Sheila at the nursing home just before 8:00 in the morning. It was a beautiful day for a ride to Logan. We enjoyed looking at the changing leaves in Sardine Canyon. All the way up we talked about many of the familiar places that we passed along the way.
We met with Dr. M. Williams and he wants to keep her on the Copaxone for now. He mentioned that he had recently read that studies had shown that MS patients were responding well to doses of Vitamin D3. He wants to start her on a regimen of vitamin D3. People normally create Vitamin D3 in their skin from exposure to sun light. Since Sheila never goes out in the sun, she needs Vitamin D3 added to her diet. We will see how she responds to this treatment. What a miracle it would be if something this simple could make all the difference.
On the way home Sheila asked if we could stop at Gossner Cheese to get cheese curds. She definitely has not forgotten much about her home of Cache Valley.
