Paige's Leg

We took Paige back to the Rheumatologist last Thursday. They basically diagnosed her with mild JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). She has to have a bone scan done in April to see if any "hot spots" show up, which is basically just inflamed joints. If something shows up they will change her medication to help with that. The doctor seems to think that she will grow out of it, which is great news. The just have to keep an eye on her leg length to make sure her leg isn't continuing to increase in length. All in all though it was a good visit!

We will keep you in our prayers for this. Also, we know a little boy who is 6 now and has outgrown his issues w/ this remarkably well! He has almost no symptoms of it now.
