I dont know if you remember I posted last week about my eldest son and him possibly having an auto immune condition.
Well it looks like he has rheumatoid arthritis, he is only 13. He must have always had it and is having his first flare up which is why we have discovered it. His joints are swollen; his knees, elbows, hands and now this week his hips are bothering him. He has had his first blood tests and they have come back positive so he is currently awaiting results of a second set of tests.
This week we go back to the GP and hopefully find out where we go now. I know he is down for some physio ..other than that no idea whats next.
Its hard knowing that your kids are sick, especially as he has been through so much already. Last year he has a burst appendix and from that he got a kinked bowel and it took him 6 months to recover .. I thought he would be fine from here on in.
Anyway - thankyou for reading.
