    Kids to adults …medical history

    This is such a good reminder. I definitely need to get on top of this before Grace leaves for college in a couple years. 🤦‍♀️ A nurse asked Grace about her g-tube placement and she replied that she's not sure, she's always had it. 🙄 Another time a nurse asked about past meds, (my almost) 14 year...

    Sibling being evaluated

    I'm sorry to hear about all the ups and downs still. 🥺 Grace tried Stelara and that might be a good fit for your kiddo. I can't believe how old the kids are getting.

    🤦‍♀️ Calling all moms with daughters. 🙄It's finally happened.

    Thanks for the advice everyone. 😘 Grace had trailed NSAIDS 3 times. Within the second dose, she cramps. She's also tried different anti cramping meds but nothing really seems to help. We'll see how her next cycle goes. She's off of prednisone. Hopefully it will help her mood. 🙄 I hoping she...

    🤦‍♀️ Calling all moms with daughters. 🙄It's finally happened.

    Thanks my little penguin.❤ Sadly that's the case for Grace. Her doc said she calls it the 1/3 law of auto-immune disease for kids during puberty. 1/3 gets better 1/3 stays the same 1/3 gets worse 🤷‍♀️Guess what Grace fits into. Change of meds will probably be happening soon

    Next Step for Little Farm Girl

    😢 Grace reacted to Remicade again. They gave her a bunch of steroids, Benadryl and such. Tried again and same symptoms came back. The Rheumatologist told us he'd pull it next time it happened but we'll get the new game plan tomorrow. She only got a quarter of her Remicade, So hopefully...
