So far so good Sunday and a little bit of research.

It is Sunday night. Don't want to give a kinahurra....but it is almost 10pm Sunday night and Bean didn't have a ferver. Just taking note.

Google search alert came up with a report today. Dr. C. told me not to do my own research...but I feel like I need to know and need to learn...all these reports talk about the mortality rates of kids with SJIA - it isn't something we have brought up with the doctors yet, or have they brought up with us. But it is on my radar.

Here is the latest report.
