How is [your child] doing?

I haven't posted here for awhile! Mainly because there haven't been very many general questions to answer for anyone lately! But I did want to include a question (of mine) to another JA mom. I had asked if she had put further thought into starting a blog, and added the following question as well: "How is [your child] doing?" And my friend Wendy answered with words that I thought were very profound. I agreed totally with them, and wanted to share them here. My friend Wendy gave me permission to do so:

"[My child] has been doing so fantastic that the idea of a blog is far from my mind. It's funny, when things are going well, it's easy to forget she even has this disease. And when things aren't, it's impossible to think about anything else."

How very true that is!!! I've been there--both places! We are grateful that for Anna and for us as her parents--especially lately---that things have been going relatively well, so unless it's time to administer the medications, it's easy to forget that she even has this disease. How I wish that all JA parents and patients could be in that place.
