My heart is heavy for a loved one tonight. The diagnosis is sobering but not "fatal", though definitely life altering as all autoimmune diseases are. Without going into too much detail, I can say my cousin has a hard road ahead and will need
love, prayer and encouragement from all who know her. I plan to reach out to her in the coming days and hope to be a small comfort in that I too have experience with autoimmune issues and know how isolating and consuming chronic disease can be.
So, another relative has a disorder of the immune system. This knowledge makes me worried for E, as these disorders tend to run in families. All the more reason to learn all I can about natural living, minimizing potential "triggers", and raising our little one to be as healthy and informed as possible.
Glad you plan to reach out. She can use all the support and encouragement she can get, especially from people who understand and are walking similar roads.
