And if you dont pray any positive thoughts are so appreciated!!
As some of you know my daughter has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was diagnosed at two years old. They put her naproxen and it didn't do anything so they stepped up to methrotrexate. When that didn't do as much they put her on prednisone as well. Finally they put her on Enbrel as well. Don't get me wrong I try to put faith in her doctors but I always felt like this was WAY to much medication. I did some research and found that these meds could do serious damage to some of her internal organs. She is now six years old and I am afraid we got some bad news at her last appointment. They send her in for regular blood testing and such and they are concerned she may have liver damage as a result of the methrotrexate. We find out June 5th either way and as the appointment approaches I am sick to my stomach!! I am so scared. Please just keep her in your thoughts. I am a firm believer that prayer works and I am trying to keep faith that we will get good news. This poor kid has been through so much in the four short years she has had to live with this awful condition. They did pull her off her meds until we know more and now shes flaring and having an extremely difficult time getting around. I am just desperate.
Thank you so much ladies.
Hugs!
