Pray for
Avah.... Monday she is going to start a new treatment for her
JRA. She has a new wonderful doctor and is suggesting we change her medicine. I have been struggling with this decision.
Avah is going to get steroid injections into her inflamed joints (knee & wrist). Steroids scare me with a growing child. Her doctor assures us it is
ok. It is hard to put all your trust into a doctor. From what I have heard it is very painful. After the injection she will have to be on bed rest for 24 hours to let the medicine settle. This will hopefully only have to be done 1-2 times a year instead of weekly like her current injections. I wish I could take the pain away from her. I am trying to find a way to explain to her what is going to happen but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet.....
