Bekah's health.
Wanted to update on Bekah's recent health scare. She continued to have pain and low fevers all through January and into February. After consulting her rhuematologist he suggested further testing which we didnt want to do. However, we decided after the doctor convinced us to go ahead. After a rough blood draw and chest xray Bekah was glad once it was over and so was I! It was so hard to put her through again with the fear that they would learn nothing once again from her tests. But we were so thankful when they called us to tell us that her blood work looked great and definitely better than it had the month previously. This meant that her body was getting better which shouldnt happen with rheumatoid arthritis. Of course a post viral infection shouldnt have lasted this long either. So our course of action at this point is to see what happens. If she still has persistent pain by march we see the dr again and see what he can come up with. But Im happy to report that she has had no pains in one full week! This is a record so we are praying we have gotten through this and we will never relive it again with our Beks! But we do know that it could flare back up if it is a rare case of rheumatoid arthritis. Until then we are going to put it behind us and move on! Praise the Lord!

It's entirely impressive that you do not walk around in a constant state of complete paranoia! So sorry you've had to go through all these quirky illnesses, but thrilled to hear a good report!
