Welcome to our journey. On March 9th, 2009, our 11 year old daughter tested positive for Systemic Scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease.

As we follow Kara's health very closely, watching for and treating symptoms, but anticipating healing, we hope that through our journey, you will become our prayer partner, you will be encouraged and find hope in your own circumstances.

"As for me, I will always have hope, I will praise you more and more."

Seeing the Rheumatologist...

Tomorrow is a big day...we will be seeing the Rheumatologist. This specialist will be the main physician that manages Kara's Scleroderma. We have many, many questions for him and will be going to this appointment as a family. Someone recommended that we include our older daughter, Kori, in on some of Kara's appointments so she understands what we are all facing as a family. So, we will all be at this appointment and possibly the next couple as we enter into the treatment phase of this journey. We will soon know Kara's type of Scleroderma, the progression of it in her, the health of her internal organs, and the treatment options available.

Thank you for your continued prayers and your loving support. God is a good God and He is in control! We look forward to the days ahead, knowing He has a purpose and a plan for Kara and our family through Scleroderma.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." ~Romans 12:12
