Mark and Hunter met with the Rheumatologist this afternoon. The test for Vasculitis came back negative, and they are going to have another case conference with all the doctors after the latest findings on recent tests. They are leaning towards a juvenile systemic arthritis. They had to discharge Hunter early because of Insurance issues, so they weren't able to tie things up as they usually do.
Right now they are treating Hunter with a prescription anti-inflammatory drug, and we're supposed to monitor how he does. We also have to monitor his temperature regularly. We are unsure of when his next appointment will be. They will probably call and schedule that once they meet with all the doctors.
