Update on Bradley

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

So I know I have not posted on here in a while (more than I care to admit!) but

I do read every single post that you write and know that I am praying for each

and every one of you and your kids.

Bradley had been pulled off his Humira back in September of 2010 and we were SO

excited! Some of you may not know but Bradley was diagnosed with Pauci in 2008

and only his left knee was affected. He has had NO problem with his joints but

unfortunately his Uveitis has been a bit harder to control. Well, he was doing

really well and his eyes had been quiet for a long time so like I said, in

September, his Opthomologist (sorry can't ever spell that right! hahah) pulled

him off the Humira. Of course we were seeing him every 4 weeks or so but we were

doing really well and hoping that this was the start of the beginning of the end

for him.

Well, we went back to the Optho at the beginning of this month and Bradley is

flared really badly in both eyes. So we went back on eye drops every 2 hours

and have now gradually gone down to every 4 hours. He was also put back on Mtx

and will be going back on Humira as well. It's just such a bummer because he was

doing so well and we were just so praying that he was growing out of it, I guess

kind of a naive thought.

Anyways, just wanted to update you all and ask for your continued prayers right

now. We have weekly appointments with the Optho so I'll let you all know what's

going on.

Thanks everyone for listening, it is so awesome to know that you are here and

willing to just lend an ear.

Sincerely,

Karemarie- Mommy to Bradley, 6 (Pauci and Uveitis)
