Well, Our life has been a little crazy lately. What's new right? Well since Maggie has been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis our world has changed a bit, however, Now I know why I have a 3 year old who doesn't want to do much but sit in front of the t.v. It hurts her to do anything else. She has always been a bit uncoordinated and has had a hard time doing any type of stairs. But I didn't know that it was something serious. As the weather has changed colder in Idaho her ability/desire to do much of anything has completely gone away. At least now we have an answer of why, and now we need an answer of what to do about it. We cant wait to get into the specialist in Salt Lake next week to see what we can do to help her! It has been a struggle for her and me over these past few weeks! I hate seeing my little girl cry in pain! We have good days a bad days. I never know how the day is going to go. I think the Lord is trying to teach me patients or something, hopefully whatever it is I will learn soon! Between her and Eli things always are a bit interesting around here. No matter what I am very grateful for my children! They are worth all the work! I cant imagine my life with out them. Speaking of... and not to forget about Olivia she is loving school and dance, she keeps very busy with homework! (A little too much homework if you ask me!) But she loves to learn and is very smart! She is a very big help to me which is so nice! We've had 1 real snow for the year and I think she is already tired of it! Me too! I hope you all are planning to have a great Thanks Giving!
You are a tough mama. You are obviously made of better stuff than me. With all your kiddos have gone through, I would have fallen apart a long time ago. Hopefully the doc in SLC will have some meds that will help her right away.
Thanks for the updated pictures. The kids are so cute!!! Remember, The Lord gives us experiences to grow. Some of us, I think, he needs to hit us with a 2X4 to get our attention. Love you!!! and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW :O) MOM xoxoxo
You are a great mom! I am so proud of you for being strong for your family. We are keeping Maggie (and you too) in our Prayers. We put Maggie's name on the Temple Prayer Roll too. I sure wished you lived closer to me. Love you so much! Hang in there and call anytime you need to chat. Love ya!
Paige - so good to SEE you last week! We had fun laughing around the kitchen table with everyone and are crazy jealous that we are not moving to Idaho too. Image all the fun our kids would have together! Glad I found your blog. kiss brock for me.
I'm sorry to hear about Maggie's diagnosis. I hope you get the answers you need so you'll know how to help her. It's a tough position to be in seeing your child in pain and not being able to fix it. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Hi Paige! I am sorry to hear about Maggie! What a little trooper she is. I hope they are able to get her on a regimine that will help her with her pain... she is learning how to be a trooper from her mama! Love ya!
