This is pretty much how we're feeling about
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
these days.
our favorite-four-year old...
...is getting his {crazy huge, thought-to-be-fatigue-causing} tonsils out this Friday.
His consult with the ENT
{who has a special place in our medical lives
after diagnosing Grace with toxic shock syndrome in May!}
went really well.
Until he saw on the chart that Grant has received the official JRA diagnosis.
and that he takes a NSAID 3x/daily.
And we realized that a NSAID carries increased bleeding risks.
Which, clearly, we do not want going into surgery.
So, for the next {at least} two weeks,
Grant will be JRA-medicine-free.
{I'm already feeling the need to ask you to pray for us!}
We accidentally missed two out of 5 doses of Grant's medicine a few weeks ago.
And Grant's knees immediately were swollen, warm, and painful.
He was extraordinarily fatigued.
and back to complaining of leg pain.
So, this momma is understandably a bit hesitant going into two weeks of zero arthritis medicine.
Our rheumatologist has given us a few options if worse comes to worse
but it'd mean steroids.
So, we're praying for the miraculous.
and also praying for Divine kindness, patience, and understanding
in the mean time.
So our favorite-four-year-old can {as quickly as possible!}
get back to his happy, easy-going, mud-loving self.
Thank-you, again, for praying with us.

I've asked for prayer for Grant so much on this little blog world of mine.
Can I pray for you?
Leave a comment with your prayer request, and I will pray for it, regularly, over the next several weeks as I pray for Grant and his JRA and tonsillectomy.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
I'll be praying for you and especially Grant. Surgery is always scary, especially when you have an added complication like JRA.
I'll definitely take the prayers, for myself. Two of my three are going to be having potentially some big medical events going on in the next month and I'm really struggling with everything. Thanks, Anna
Thank-you for sharing, Devon. I will definitely be praying for your boys! I know how hard medical stuff is!
I will be lifting Grant up in prayer. I pray that he will feel well and that his surgery will be a success.
I will be praying for the miraculous as well!
Thank you for letting us know what we can be praying for.
This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader
amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
