I hope you enjoy our blog and find it helpful and supportive to other parents and children going through the same ordeal. Together we can make a difference and hopefully bring awareness for this childhood disease. Ava is consider severe, Ava has it in her fingers, wrist, hands, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, feet, and toes. Ava ia also ANA + meaning she has it in her eyes as well!!

New Medication
For the last two weeks or so Ava has been in a flare, we realized it got worse because we dropped her dosage in her steriod. We have now added an antinflammatory Meloxicam. It seems to be working but with the crazy humidity and then the sudden cold. Has made her worn out at times and feeling run down. We recently learned during the hot humid days that she is holding on to the heat.
It was tough getting her out of bed in the last week or so and even off the couch. I hope soon the hot days are approaching with not to much humidity.
