I didn't know you were going through all that, and I'm sorry. I'm glad that you've been able to figure out what works for you now, and that you will be able to do this amazing thing next week. I'm so happy and excited for you!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874774117796957827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278531183853333290.post-15301524334149095212013-05-15T16:48:29.549-10:002013-05-15T16:48:29.549-10:00Julia, they do know what it is now.

Basically if it doesn't show up exactly on the bloodwork as it says in the book they are stumped.<br /><br />Erin, it actually was a lot better after Noli. I was on a steroid as soon as she was born and had several cortisone shots to the knee until she stopped nursing. That helped a ton. It took me over a year to wean off of the stupid steroids but i think it was worth it, I never could have juggled two kids without it. And, no need to be sorry, I did play it close. I was scared and embarrassed. It feels good to write about it now, though. I am a lot more confident in my health now. I don't feel so vulnerable.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695400983881889370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278531183853333290.post-85335151104934607802013-05-15T15:47:01.565-10:002013-05-15T15:47:01.565-10:00I've heard pieces of this before ( Hawaii), bu...I've heard pieces of this before ( Hawaii), but you played all of it so close to your chest that I would never know or guess. I didn't know it was just as bad with Noli. In fact, I asked you about it and you kinda blew it off, saying that it was better than with Lily because you knew what to expect so could adjust for it. I wish I could have been there for you. I'm sorry.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270555733507109257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3278531183853333290.post-77599095235560580862013-05-15T14:59:37.345-10:002013-05-15T14:59:37.345-10:00Wow, so they still have no idea?

I can't think of a more elegant way to put that. I had no idea about any of this, makes me very grateful!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145867151018295039noreply@blogger.com
