It's so nice to see my little girl happy if not slightly hyper lol think that's the steroids. She's moving a lot more easier although still in pain.
It's the happiest I've seen her in months. She's even attempted using the stairs today taken a while to kick in but I'm glad it has. Let's hope the effects last till at least crimbo day. She starts on methotrexate injections next week just waiting for a call from the nurse on Monday.
The rash is still there and in fact she has it on soles of feet to but my mum says this is what my dad has and he has psoriatic arthritis which i know is something they are testing for so don't look good on that front.
Just wanted to let you know how happy she's woken today almost like having my bouncing girl back.

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
Thank you both. It's lovely as she's had fun playing out in the snow today didn't last long but went out more than she would have done on Monday.
Thank you all for being there for me and her.0 -
