Annie has been on steroids for her colon inflammation for nearly 3 months now. She's gained almost 10 lbs since starting the steroids, and she's developed the typical moon face associated with steroid use. In addition to making her incredibly chubby-faced, the amount of fat Annie's collected around her chin has made itdifficult to prevent rashes from all her drooling. Most of that skin doesn't see the light of day, but stays wet all the time. We're working with a doctor in Ohio who will be doing Annie's salivary gland ablation in the spring. Hopefully we'll get Annie off her prednisone and lose some of that moon face before her procedure, otherwise the doctor might have a hard time finding her glands at all!
