Savannah is having a bit of a flare up. Her hands are hurting more lately and her feet/ankles are hurting after walking just a very short distance. We went to an outdoor mall on Saturday. Her feet were hurting so badly, we had to bring out the EZ Rider wheelchair. I am very thankful for this EZ Rider, but saddened we are back to needing it. Savannah has new orthotics coming this week (hopefully) and maybe this will help with the pain in her feet and ankles. I wish I could give Savannah my feet.
Her hands...well, she manages the best she can. I watched as one of Savannah's classmates completed a writing assignment the other day. He wrote with ease, word after word. I have never seen my daughter able to do this task in her life. It has always required tremendous effort for Savannah to write. I wish I could give her my hands.
Despite it all, Savannah keeps going. She keeps smiling.
Savannah was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis at the age of 8 years old. This blog is dedicated to all the prayer warriors who lift up Savannah in prayer and the 300,000 children in the U.S. who suffer with juvenile arthritis. We want others to know that kids get arthritis, too.

Here is the newest video for the Montgomery Jingle Bell Run. A few of the pictures are from Savannah's jaw steroid injections last week. I hope the video motivates you.
