Must be so difficult ...So sorry about your nephew. Must be so difficult at his age. My mother was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in her 30's. The dryer air here in AZ has helped immensely but she just recently discovered another helpful habit... cutting corn and wheat out of her diet. She tried this "diet" where she fasted for a few days and slowly added food back to see how her joints would react. Sure enough, when she added corn, her fingers swelled up and she could barely walk again. She had a slightly less reaction to wheat. Now that she greatly limits these things (she loves popcorn), she's not walking around like an 80 year old anymore. Just a suggestion for your sister... she might want to look into itMandaPandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362923550051566309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183510527500997747.post-12193544136068536692010-08-15T08:58:41.050-05:002010-08-15T08:58:41.050-05:00Our kids don't start school until after labor ...Our kids don't start school until after labor day, so we still have some time.<br /><br />Arthritis is a real b*tch.

I'm a praying sort of person and your sister and her boy will be in my prayers. I hope that the researchers will find a way to reverse RA or that he is, indeed, in the 20% who recover from it. Your celebration with your own young scholars looked awesome. Family is a wonderful support in the challenges we face and certainly DOES help us keep that precious perspective.Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039903741028922963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183510527500997747.post-62083880315131717512010-08-14T12:50:58.556-05:002010-08-14T12:50:58.556-05:00Back to school YEAAAAAAAAAAAA I am doing the back ...Back to school YEAAAAAAAAAAAA I am doing the back to school dance.

It's much more devastating for a mother to find that her child has a disease than if she were diagnosed with it herself. You really brought back a lot of memories for me with that simple phrase "Uncle Arthur was visiting". My dad used to say it all the time....he passed away over 27 years ago....and that's the first time I've heard it since!
