My Story…
As many of you know, Jordyn—our incredible JJ—was recently diagnosed with Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis. Like many kids facing this diagnosis, the road to answers has been physically and emotionally exhausting.
Over the past three years, JJ has endured countless doctor visits, numerous blood draws, and extensive diagnostic testing—including MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, and ultrasounds. All the while, she’s battled intense pain, swelling, and rapid changes in her body—things no child should have to go through, and all completely outside her control.
Despite it all, JJ has shown incredible courage and determination, facing each challenge head-on in the hopes of finding relief and getting back to just being a kid.
We’re deeply grateful for the ongoing support from the amazing specialists at the Children’s Hospital, whose care and compassion have helped JJ every step of the way. JJ’s treatment now includes weekly injections and ongoing medications.
