Magic pills

Tom is doing very well. He's sleeping regularly and he has gained some strength in his legs. He's able to walk with a cane at home, but when we're out in public he needs me to stand next to him just in case he becomes unsteady.

The "magic pills" I'm referring to are steroids. In the past Tom has always significantly improved when put on steroids. It's when he's weaned that he takes a couple of steps backward. He's determined to fight this. He's very depressed and feels that he's running out of choices - it's like he's on a merry-go-round going up and down and round and round. He's tired of it.....really tired. He worries me sometimes.
