    • Close Lupus

      I was diagnosed with Lupus about 4 years ago i was upset didn't know what to expect i didn't have an idea what Lupus really was, but i got it together and started informing myself educating myself about my disease. At the moment the only thing i take is my prednisone 10 mgs. I do have lots of body aches I think if i don't have an ache am wondering where the pain has gone. But thank God I have been able to deal and understand my disease the best i can.

      My 21 month old baby boy Isaiah was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus about a week after he was born due to an IVH when he was born. He was born at 29 weeks he was 2 lb 8 oz and 15 inches long. He has never had a revision or any problems with his shunt. We have had some scares but thank God no other surgeries. He is an active lil boy, and is acting up to his age no delays in his development or physical development.
