Ganando tiempo

Cuando el efecto principal de un medicamente es pronlongar el bienestar y la vida de tu hijo, tu único deseo es que se lo den lo antes posible.

A pesar de que el listado de posibles efectos secundarios es considerable, a pesar de tener que controlar la tensión, el azúcar, la dieta, el estado de los huesos, de la vista, de tener que tomar vitaminas y de un montón de cosas más.

Cuando lees que los corticoides pueden «retrasar el deterioro de la fuerza y funcionalidad muscular a corto plazo», pueden conservar «la función y fuerza muscular» a largo plazo y que «los pacientes con la enfermedad que toman estos fármacos experimentan una reducción total de su riesgo de mortalidad superior al 50%»* no ves el momento en el que tu hijo empiece a tomarlos.

Así que, cuando ayer salimos de la consulta del neurólogo con la receta de los cortis sentimos un gran alívio, a pesar de todo.

Porque esperamos que la agilidad de Pablo mejore, su fuerza, equilibrio, habilidad; porque creemos que nos va a dar tiempo para que llegue algo mejor, con menos efectos secundarios y miles de efectos positivos; porque cuando hay algo a lo que agarrarse no hay que dejarlo pasar.

Claro que el miedo quiere asomarse por la ventana, pero la esperanza no le deja entrar en casa.

Porque la realidad que vemos en los casos de niños que toman corticoides es una realidad de niños que tardan más en usar silla, que conservan sus habilidades motoras durante más tiempo, que en menor medida necesitan cirujía de espalda, que necesitan respiración asistida más tarde, que, en definitva, viven más tiempo y mejor.

Ahora ya solo queda seguir luchando para que pronto podamos dejar los corticoides para sustituirlo por algo mejor.
