Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Arthritis Foundation is holding their annual Juvenile Arthritis Day next Saturday April 1rst and I was wondering if anyone from the bay area is going? I will be volunteering there that day with the oldest group (I believe that is the 11-14 group). If anyone from this area (I think there are a few of us) are still interested you do have time to set up, its a good opportunity to get to see what some of the local hospitals offer, hear some exciting news about new treatment (not sure how new it will seem to everyone since this list is way head of itself in knowledge!) and a great opportunity for the kids to meet other kids fighting the same disease! So is anyone planning on going? Lots of Love (JAS, 21) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi ; First and most importantly, how is your mom doing? I hope all of you are coping ok, especially your pregnant sisters. Although I would like to go to the Bay Area Arth. Day next Sat., I am not sure we will be able to make it. We will try and hopefully get there and see you! We had some good news this week from 's reumy at UCSF, that she is in remission now. We still have to do an MRI to make sure there is no inflammation in her elbow remaining, and she will have to stay on her meds throughout the rest of this year. Since her last remission was for 6 years, I know that remission does not mean it is gone for good, for now it's nice to know the inflammation is not in her joints. I am sad to read the many posts of all the suffering that so many of the JRA/JIA children have, but I want everyone also to know there can be better times ahead.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 My mom is doing ok. Totally bald now but she looks super cute. She got out of the hospital on Thursday the 16th of March and then got put back in the hospital March 22nd with pneumonia. But she is feeling better and the pneumona is going away but she is going to be in there until probably tuesday or wednesday we're hoping she will stay out of the hospital for longer this time. She is doing ok though thank you for asking. I am really hoping that you will be able to make it to JA day its really fun! And I am so happy that is in remission!! That is such great news! sshepler01@... wrote: Hi ; First and most importantly, how is your mom doing? I hope all of you are coping ok, especially your pregnant sisters.
