Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis?
So we thought our Bekah was better from her post viral arthritis as she was running and jumping with no complaints or fever for 2 full days. However, on Wed after her nap she woke up crying in pain again (refusing to walk) along with another fever. The Dr's at Riley told us that if this happened to see our Pediatrician immediately. Luckily we already had a follow up appointment thurs morning so we decided to just wait it out with Ibuprofen. Once with the Dr I was shocked to hear that she may actually have Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis. I thought Riley had definitely ruled that out. Apparently, I was wrong. With this auto immune deficiency it is common to have pains and fevers that come and go. However, with Post viral arthritis once the fever and pains were gone they shoudve stayed that way. We are going to be scheduled a visit with a rheumatologist soon to find out for sure. We know that God loves our little girl and whatever diagnosis or healing that comes we will glorify Him!
