The weight of the world

September 22, 2015 by Herchel Scruggs 6 Comments

I've rarely mentioned Juvenile Arthritis this past year. That's how life with JA is. When it is under control you mostly forget it. If you don't see it, it might just be an exaggerationbrought on by your fatigue, right? She's missed less school, spent less time at the doctor, and life is busy with normal stuff. Her relative well-being means that I can finish my last … [Read more...]

because everyone has been sick!

One of the great things about social media is you can easily see what illnesses are spreading in your area.  The past week or so, I have seen countless updates about a stomach bug here in Florida.  A couple of weeks a go, a nasty cold virus swept through our house twice.

I understand that there may be health insurance restrictions.  I chose … [Read more...]

I let my child make a medical decision and the nurse gave me crazy eyes

June 20, 2014 by Herchel Scruggs 19 Comments

I haven't written about Juvenile Arthritis is a while. Why? Because we haven't had any juvenile arthritis flares. JA can be tricky like that. It slinks back into it's little hidey-hole only to charge back into our life when we least expect it. But last week, I walked into the living room to find my daughter sprawled out on our ottoman saying that she hurt. I thought she was … [Read more...]
