, good news! Rheumy says it's not lupus, RA, or any other autoimmune

disorders at this point. YAY! they did a t-spine series and drew a ton of blood.

Chas said she asked the phlebotomist, " Are you sure you're allowed to take that

much blood out of me? " jokingly of course. the tech loved it. she goes back in

january for followup. her back is still hurting but the fatigue is a little

better.

thanks for the good thoughts and wishes, and a happy Christmas to you and yours.

Hi Jane.

The power of prayer can not be denied. It was such a miracle for your daughter

to not have any of those diseases. The relief she must have felt with such good

news.

When my daughter was 8 years old, she was very sick. She was a fragile little

girl to begin with. Her pediatrician had me take her to Childrens's Hosptal in

Boston as he knew she was very sick, but didn;t know with what. Something was

wrong with her blood etc. In the interim, a good friend of my mothers was going

to Lourdes, France with her parrish. She had prayers said for my daughter, and

brought her back some Holy water from Lourdes, and a blessed rosary beads. We

had her appt. in Boston, all the doctors went over her with a fine tooth comb,

all the tests were redone, etc. The head Dr, said " Your daughter was a very

sick little girl, but now she is perfect, and no signs of any illness of any

kind " . It was really a miracle!!! I thought my daughter would die with a rare

cancer in her blood. To get a good bill of health was pure joy. So I do know

how you felt with such good results for your daughter.

I also want to thank you for your very kind words for me. I have said so many

times how much everyone here means to me. I just try to help any small way I

can. From day one here, everyone made me feel so welcome. With everything I

have gone through this past 2 years, I have been given love, support and

kindness here. That has meant the world to me. It has helped me move on to my

new life at 70. I never thought I would have to do that at my age!!!!

I hope you and your family have the merriest Christmas ever. Thanks again for

your nice letter.

Hugs,

Barbara

This was such a tremendous answer to prayer, Barbara. She works for a missions

organization so we had lots of friends praying for her. She called me when I was

at Toys R Us shopping for the great nieces and nephews. there i was in Toys R Us

crying and praising God! I told my bff girlfriends that I got the holy ghost in

the Barbie aisle. Barbara, you always such a positive, encouraging presence to

our RA family. I don't know if we tell you often enough but you are truly a

blessing.

Love

jane
