Glad she's getting the off Prednisone. Hope he'll take her off the Levofloxacin too.
I know I'm repeating myself, the levofloxacin should be avoided especially for long term use. It's use as a prophylaxis is controversial also. One of the many side effects is with tendon ruptures and the risk increases for those on Prednison and over 60yrs. Levofloxacin can also cause tendonitis and tremors.

You have to get to the detailed warning to find the citation on prednisone.
I know how difficult it is to see all this unfold and not be there to help support your mom.
