A Heavy Heart

It is so hard for me to watch my son become less and less mobile. Even with treatment his joints seem to be getting stiffer and stiffer. It is harder for him to walk and stairs are almost impossible for him in the morning. Afternoons are a little better but he still struggles with balance and ability to move. Amazingly through it all he often has a smile on his face. His teachers at school say he has been angelic. No one can believe the transformation that has occurred over the last 2 1/2 weeks (18 days).

On August 29th Starboy was playing Goalie at his soccer game diving for the ball, running, and drop kicking. Now he has to have someone hold his hand to help him up the stairs and assist him even with daily grooming activities. It makes me cry just thinking about it. We are running more tests with the doctors and he is taking antibiotics as well as doing homeopathic remedies. We are trying to hit this from all angles. Hopefully soon we will see some kind of improvement.

Starboy loved playing Goalie! He is very sad that he had to quit the rest of the season. We are trying our best to stay positive. Please keep us in your prayers!
