I got a call yesterday afternoon from my step mom telling me that they'd admitted my 8 year old niece, Angel, to the hospital in Charlottesville (45 minutes from home). They still were unsure of what the issue was, but now she was experiencing some muscle issues in one of her thighs and was exhibiting a rash on her legs. They so far, last i heard, suspect something Rheumatoid, but they're not sure if it's JRA or Rheumatic Fever. I need to get in touch with my sister, Brandi (Angel's mom) to see how she's doing today... darned work schedule and time difference causes problems!
So please keep good thoughts coming for Angel... poor little thing... I can't imagine seeing my 8 year old kid wincing in pain :(
