A Day of Answers

Finally after almost two years we have answers on Tanner's medical condition!  Tanner has Juvenile Arthritis.  This has been a very long road but we finally have answers; today the physical exam, MRI and blood work all lined up.  Tanner received his first injection Thursday when we were at the doctor's office.  He will now need an injection done weekly(on top of all this other meds), at least we will be able to do this at home.  We have already received amazing support from the local Arthritis Foundation!  We are heading to camp as a family (even Tolan) April 11th-13th.  Tanner finally gets to meet other kids like him and Jon and I get to meet other parents that have been though this struggle.  Tanner will also be getting a support kit in the mail from the Arthritis Foundation, as well as support kit from the company that makes his injection.  So for know we still go one day at a time and see how everything goes next week with his PT evaluation.
