testing done to check why my feet and legs are always numb and tingly and

nothing showed up so now I am being sent to a neurologist.. just what I needed

another specialist.. Other then that I am doing ok.

I know asked about my mom, she is doing ok. About two weeks ago my

mother was admitted into the hospital because she was having trouble breathing

and was really disoriented, we found out that the radiation did not work and her

tumors have not shrank at all, the didn't grow but they didn't shrink either,

they put her back on decadron (steriod) and it helped her breathing but now she

has oxygen here at home and they said since she didnt respond to radiation she

probably wont respond to chemo and even with the chemo its only being used to

give her more time.. The dont really expect for her to make it through the

summer.. Its been devestating to say the least, but we are trying to enjoy every

day as it comes. She had a port inplanted last friday and will start

chemotherapy tomorrow.. hopefully everything goes well and she is given a

miracle..

That's basically all though thats been going on.. I've been really stressed

out with school and work and dealing with my mom.. ill be overjoyed when this

semester is over.

Lots of Love

I am so sorry your mom is struggling so much. I will pray for her

peace and a miracle. The power of prayer is an amazing thing.

Sharon, sometimes you have to "let go" and not feel guilty. There's no sense in having two people in pain. The therapist knows what is best for your Mum and the staff can monitor her progress and relieve you of the initial responsibility.

I hope things get better quickly.

Just got home from the hospital. Mom had RTKR on Tuesday. They are going to transfer her to extended care skilled nursing tomorrow. She has been so sick from the meds the last two days that she really hasn't gotten in much PT or OT. She isn't putting much weight on the knee and the therapist feels that she needs more help before coming home or to my house. I'm kind of glad that they made that decision

yet I feel like a bad daughter because I really feel like I couldn't take care of her this way. I have a bad back and with her being so unstable I worry about us both.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Sharon don't feel bad because you are concerned how you would cope.

That is often a issue with carers.

Do you have a carers group of some sort in the area you live?

A few years ago I worked for http://www.carersqld.asn.au/. Maybe you could

start there for some information.

A dream I had while I was employed by them was to have a carers support

group online 24 hours a day. I figured if all english speaking carers

groups worked together you could have it manned with a trained counsellor 24

hours a day with each timezone only having to do an hour. This could be

done inside work hours and for minimal cost. EG a worker could sit at their

desk doing their paperwork with the chat room open on the computer. If no

one came in the worker continued doing the paperwork, but the worker was

there if someone needed support. 10 years ago no one would listen - maybe I

should go back and try to start that fire all over again.

Carers - don't forget to care for the carer.

Hi Sharon,

I'm glad your Mom's surgery went well. As far as going to the

extended care facility, most people do better there than before going

home. The PT folks can teach her how to get around better and make

her more comfortable before she does go home or to your place.

You can't feel like a " bad daughter " for not being able to take care

of her right now!! You aren't a professional PT. And with a bad

back yourself, you can't be expected to be as quick on your feet if

need be. As soon as she's a bit more confident in getting about

herself, you can pick it up from there. Don't worry...you'll be able

to help her MORE than enough when she gets home...LOL....

I hope she's feeling better soon, I know the meds can do a number on

you!!

I think your idea has a lot of merit. I would strongly encourage you to follow

up on it. I

even think it could be a money maker. I would be interested in paying for

support like

that. I realize that was not your primary motivation but good ideas should be

rewarded.

Keep us posted if it does develop.

Internet companies like Google, and such are always looking for new ways

of

getting information to people. Google especially. I thing a video or voice

I.P. would be the

most interesting. But just typing in real time (chat room) would work as well.

Heck I am

getting exited just thinking about it!! Lets call it eCare or eComfort or . . .

I think the reality is that professional people are still afraid of the

power of the internet.

My grandmother would not use a telephone. She had all sorts of reasons. I

guess in 50 years time we will laugh at the way people demonise the

internet.

Perhaps the difference is I am a community developer these days. I help

people help themselves. The internet is an awesome resource to help you

help yourself.

I will contact Care Queensland again soon and talk to them about who we can

set up a 24 hour support line online. I guess I should start contacting

carers organisations in other countries and see if I can light their fire.

eCare I think. It is about carers and caring for them

We have a phone support service available 9-5 here. The advantage of what

I am talking about is that it is text based because often the person being

cared for is in the room, or the room next door. This is to be support for

the frustrated or stressed carer.

What I was thinking of was a 24 hour service. Often people caring for

those with dementia will have increasing issues during the twilight time -

after 5pm. And you know yourself that when the kids were sick at night it

was the worst time - you felt SO alone.

It does need resources. You would have to have places all over the world

where you could refer people to. Maybe a secure website with a database.

Gathering that information is a huge job.

I've just agreed to do 20 websites for the healthy ageing programs that do

not have websites in Queensland, Australia. I know that they really don't

realise what work is involved in that. Luckily I am having people come to

me and ask if they can help.

Don, where are you from? What we need to do is get people from a lot of

different countries interested. People on the ground can do it better -

other wise I will need a travelling fund. I have a sign on my desk -

" Volunteers make things happen " .

I'm really good at dreaming up these ideas. I throw them out there and see

if other people think them worth running with. I do believe this idea is a

good one and glad it excites you. Might run another one past you sometime

too.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. A little town called

Pleasanton in the east bay area. Get Google Earth running and you

will see were I live.

If you could write a short one page summary of your idea. Cover what

would be needed (people, things, expertise etc). How that might be

obtained (funding, volunteer, steal etc). You get what I mean. I am

asking this so I could approach someone at Google to see what they

think of it. That is what I meant earlier about getting excited.

We all lead busy lives. I would be willing to work in this idea

because like I said it has merit. So you got your first volunteer to

make things happon.

Diane - Dr. Vogler is a very good doctor. He is quite in nature but very

through when it come to his exams. It is almost like the moment he comes into

the room he is studying Hunter. He watches how she moves and walks but does

it in a very suttle way. He talks with Hunter and listens to her stories,

which puts her to ease. When I have called him at night or on the weekends

when Hunter was sick (especially in the beginning) he was kind and listened to

my worries. He has a wonderful assistant, Kennedy, who is just as

wonderful as he is. Sandi Ken Hunter (7 Systemic)

Diane,

has never had the injection yet. I was told she needed it but I

also made the choice to wait and see and if got worse then we would

have to go with it. Several on the list have experienced the injection and yes

the child will be asleep.

Dr. Vogler is a Cool Dr. His Staff is Good. Several of the Parent's here

do go and see Vogler. Hope to see you at the Conference.

Sherry, this is all Excellent! Thanks for llettinng us know how it

went - we all learn from posts like yours.

This is a great example of why regular fluoros are so important! If

you had simply gotten more fill froom a less experienced or less

knowledgable doc, the dilation would have continued to enlarge, and

likely would have become a full slip or worse. Many US docs rarely

use a fluoro until there are symptoms of problems, and by then big

fixes often requiring mor surgery are needed.

With less pressure from fills, almost all dilations heal completely,

then you can safely get more fill later, cautiously, if you need it.

Any enlargement of the esophagus or pouch can push the band out of

good position on the stomach. An enlarged esophagus also allows the

esoph. to act as a second pouch to store food, so you will eat way

too much and negate weight loss. The enlargement also adversely

affects the role of the esoph - which is a muscle meant to move the

food from the mouth to the stomach. Any backup can damage the esoph.

so it does not move food through well - it just sits there.

Thanks for playing courier! :-) (I had asked Sheery to print

something out for me and deliver it to Dr. Curry). Much quicker and

mor personal than mail.

Sounds like you got very excellent care and will soon be back on

track!

Yes, unless the dilation is huge and has been going on for years. The

peron is unfilled, given meds to help heal, and with the lack of excess

pressure backing the food up into the espphagus, the esophagus relaxes

and heals and goes back to it's small-diameter. I had this aboit a tear

put, and it took

3 months to heal, but it's fine now, (3.5 yrs out) with a reasonable

fill. Sandy

Hi Helen,

I was so saddened to hear that little Nick isn't feeling well. The way you

described things, it sounds like a classic systemic flare. That's how it is for

Josh at least, except that he doesn't ever vomit and his white cell count is

always too high when he's flaring - even though he takes MTX. They can get so

skinny when they're sick, that it's almost scary. There have been times when

I've actually looked forward to increasing the Prednisone dose, knowing how

quickly it has Josh feeling better and so his appetite would improve so he could

quickly regain the weight he'd lost.

I remember that pale and listless look so well. When he was younger, Josh spent

so many hours lying about during flares, with no energy whatsoever, that I

sometimes feared that his childhood memories would be sad ones - that he'd miss

out on too many activities. Sometimes I think I pushed too hard to make sure he

wouldn't miss certain events, even though - in hindsight- he probably would have

been better off being at home and resting some more. The thing is, despite all

of what Josh has gone through in the 11 years since being diagnosed, he doesn't

focus on the bad times. He still mostly remembers the good times and fun. Sort

of like how we don't remember so vividly the pain associated with childbirth.

Our focus is on the new baby and years later we're more likely to recall the

positive aspects of the experience.

I wish Nick (and the other children affected, too) didn't have to be going

through this. I had so hoped that with the better understanding and newer meds

it would have by now put an end to this kind of suffering for kids with

arthritis. I still hope that happens soon.

Helen, today is my birthday. The big 42! When Kayla finishes cheer practice

we'll be going out for dinner and then we'll be leaving for a day or two. You

guys will be in my thoughts and as soon as we're back I'll be checking in here

to see how those blood test results looked ... and to find out how Nick is

doing. I hope there will be some improvement.

Aloha,

Georgina

update

Nick is struggling, hes not been the same since we returned from

Atlanta.

He has had increased joint pain and stiffness on waking up, mainly in

his knees and fingers. His voice is not right, but he does not

complain of throat pain. He has thrown up the last 2 mornings and lost

all the weight be gained in Atlanta and then some, a low grade fever

and headaches.

He is very tired and just lays around all day. He missed summer school

today.

Hopefully this is just a speed bump, a bug, and he will snap out of it

soon. The trip to Atlanta took a lot out of him, just as the trip to

Rhode Island did last year. It's so frustating.

Tell Nick there's going to be a Cure one day so no more kid's have to

tolerate Pain. It is in the working as we speak but when we do not know. I know

each one of us have to have a moment's alone but you never have to have a

moment alone with this group sweetie. As we all do it. We let off our emotions

and feel better after. I am glad to see Nick is still pushing his self though as

this is a True Trooper. Nick the TROOPER. Wouldn't that be cool. We drive

through your town years from now and he stops us with his siren and

says......Ma'am your driving to slow What seems to be your problem? ....lolol.

Well Mr

Nick the Trooper I am Lost and where I come from I drive slow. lololol. Well

he asks where are you trying to go? I say well I am heading to see Helen. He

would say well my Mom's name is Helen. lolol Well Trooper Nick would you

tell me if you had JRA? He would say yes I did. I would say Ok point me in the

Direction of your Mom. lololol. We arrive with Sirens going lolol. Trooper

Nick says well Ma'am I know your one of Mom's friend but I still have to write

you up for going to slow. lolololol. I would say ok fine. But next time I will

fly by you and you should let me go on back South lolol.

about Nick and how he is being so strong. He is just an amazing kid. There

are many of our kids that are strong with this, and stubborn. They are going to

be kids that make a difference in the life of others. They are the ones that

will grow up to be looked up to by the other kids. Unfortunatly it may be a

long road but they will get there. And as adults they will be all the

stronger and ready to help make a difference in all our world.

Veri
