Things are looking up around here! Amy continues to improve. She is now driving. Not on the highway, yet. If a person has to use her hands to pull her legs into the car, maybe she shouldn't drive fast. That getting the foot over to the brake pedal quickly is important. So far, she has been able to drive around the neighborhood, to a rehearsal, the school's transportation garage for Logan, and a doctor's appointment. At the doctor's appointment, we learned that all her blood work is normal. The inflammation is down and the muscle enzymes are no longer elevated. Sometimes, the blood work doesn't correspond with how the patient is feeling, but with Amy's improvement, the rheumatologist thought that this was the real deal. Amy gets to start tapering off the steroids.
Slowly.
This month, she'll drop back to 40mg prednisone and pray that the improvements don't stop, and that the inflammation doesn't come back. Hopefully, she will be able to taper slowly off the steroids without any flare ups.
Logan will be practicing his piano tuning. Our piano will be first. After Thanksgiving, he'll work on his church's piano. Pray for patience for everyone!
About Us
Amy and Logan Blewett were married on May 16, 1998 after meeting at the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. They moved to Paducah, Kentucky where Logan was working at the time.
Now, Amy teaches violin, piano, viola, and cello out of our home. Amy is a member of Reidland United Methodist where both of us are the Handbell Directors. Amy is also the volunteer Curator of the Paducah Railroad Museum.
Logan currently works as a school bus driver for McCracken County Schools. He continues to work as an Interpreter for the Deaf during church activities and as a volunteer. He is a member of Zion Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He teaches the Adult Sunday School class and fills the pulpit occasionally as a Lay Pastor. He recently received his Certificate in Pastoral Studies from the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. He serves as the Presbytery Elder Commissioner. Logan accompanies Amy's students and tunes pianos. He is also involved in the community as a ham radio operator and as the Museum Director of the Paducah Railroad Museum. Additionally, he is President of the Paducah Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.
We also volunteer at the Museum of the American Quilters' Society once a month, as well as the Paducah Railroad Museum.
We enjoy bike riding, swimming, taking walks together, and camping.
