My niece continues to be plagued with a painful weakening condition that has not been diagnosed. It is not discitis, lupus, MS, or bone fractures. This is an added complication to her severe food and environmental allergies and asthma and the associated complications of long term immunosuppression.
It has been a long 2 months for my sister, niece, and her family and DN is not improving.
Today was DN's 10 yo MD appointment, followed by more blood tests. Depending on the results of the tests, DN will be seeing a neurologist or rheumatoligist.

Please pray for my DN, sister and her family.
If you have any prayers left, pray that I can somehow be of support to my sister. I would like to visit her but do not want to be more of a burden to her.
Is listening enough?

I will pray for your niece, Viv. Can you ask your sister in what way you can be most helpful to her? I will pray for her and for you!

Love,

Your prayers are helping me, my sister said she would like me to come out to Indy if my niece is hospitalized.
Still waiting for results.

Thank you

Here’s the latest on my niece-
This week has shown a continued increase in weakness, now it includes her arms and neck. This coupled with a visit to her pediatrician, she had another round of blood work drawn.
Today she was seen at the Riley Children’s hospital in Indy. The rheumatologist there said she does not have Lupus or arthritis. They now believe that it is a neurological issue. Due to years of pain, infections, and viruses—her nerves have gone haywire. They can no longer react appropriately. The doctor at the hospital said she has seen this in chronically ill children. The treatment is strength and flexibility training with the hope that her nerves will start to react properly. There is no time frame for her recovery and no way to prevent this from happening again.   Hopefully my sister can find a pool that is well heated for Olivia’s water work. Insurance will no cover hospital based water therapy until private water treatment is tried. My sister has a new set of exercises to start now.
Thank you for all your prayers,

Viv, praying that this is truly the answer and your niece will feel better. And praying also for your sister and the family. How stressful for all of you.

We'll continue to pray. It is so frustrating to be dealing with a chronic illness and then have financial stress heaped on top. God bless them.
