Spoke to Leah's Supa Doc a few weeks ago.
We have a plan to try to get her viral load to undetectable.
Leah's viral load is low.
Very low.
Like "hasn't been over 310 since she got home" low.
That's great news and something to celebrate!
BUT
Even with regular medicine, she is not going below 50 (undetectable).
And with her low viral number, we cannot perform resistance testing.
This month, we are going to stop all of her meds for three/five weeks.
We stopped the first one yesterday and will stop the other two in two weeks.
We stopped the first one yesterday and will stop the other two in two weeks.
Sounds a little scary to me, but I also have confidence in the plan.
We expect that Leah's viral load will go up without meds to a level where we can perform resistance testing.
Once we know what meds will work best for her, we should be able to get her undetectable.
Easy, right?
I have just a little fear about stopping the meds when I know how important they are.
And how healthy they keep her.
Will you pray for my girl?
Here's how I'm praying:
That God would heal her and she would have no HIV.
(Yep. That's always my first prayer.)
That if she is not healed, that the viral load would go up just enough to perform resistance testing but not TOO much. Just enough.
And then, that Leah is undetectable by the end of the year.
Thanks for interceding with me.
