Hi Kathy,

Thanks for your encouraging post. I feel strange saying that your situation is encouraging when we all know how horrible having this dease is. And even knowing that the possibilities of a long life after dx get better as time goes on, you still will always be in a fight for your life. You are so young and deserve to have many more years ahead, I pray for a salution for you and all others in this forum.

My wife, Nellie, has been living with lupus since a young girl and has developed a mired of health issues putting her in a high risk area. A transplant for her is out of the question, unless a super safe procedure can be developed. Her numbers have improved this week and give us hope they will continue to rise. A recent ultrasound of her belly, done to investigate bloating, revealed no explanation for the bloating. However, exposed a lesion in her kidney. Now more tests will be done to explore how serious this maybe. Well her plate is already overflowing, what next?

Continued success with your treatment Kathy and God bless you and your family. Lets all hang in there together.

Eli
