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."

Blessing in disguise...

Last night Kara showed me a rash she had noticed right after I dropped her off at school. Now, rashes and hives used to be our normal. I've got this down, however, having other variables in the mix at this point, almost everything is a doctor's appointment.

So, today we saw our Family Practitioner for the first time since February. He confirmed her rash is not contagious, but is an allergic reaction to...something. I love that! We have never been able to figure the rash thing out. We can put a man on the moon, but we cannot figure out what an allergic rash is caused by. Oh well, I won't lose sleep over this one.

The bonus is that while we were there, we talked about Kara's thyroid being low. He ordered a few more labs and said she probably needs a low dose of thyroid medication.

It was a blessing to have that taken care of so quickly. We don't have one more thing being drawn out in this journey.

Well, I must go so I can put cream on Kara and love on both of my girls. Thank you, again, for your prayers!!
