Discovered our 13 yr old daughter's aches and pains were actually a form of chronic arthritis called "JSA" (spine and several other joints). Even w/ mod. she couldn't stay a full day at school. After much soul searching, we brought her home. Now, she's much healthier and happier. Off all meds and getting exercise as needed, she's even grown an inch w/ in six months (she hadn't grown that much in over 2 years!). Life is good! Just decided to homeschool our 10 year old son next year, too. I should learn a lot between teaching these two, amazing kids!
