Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Sitting here, chatting with my sister when she tells me that our 8 year old niece Angel is in a hospital in Charlottesville this afternoon. Earlier this week she was complaining that her leg hurt towards the end of her school day. By the time she got home she couldn't walk on it. They took her to the hospital who had her see a specialist. That specialist thought Angel had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was taken in to the hospital again today because she said her wrists were hurting now too...

I read this site , which I thought was pretty good... Given that I know nothing about the subject, I thought it explained it pretty well... Now I sit and wait to find out what the doctors in Charlottesville have to say about Angel... Poor little thing.
