Good news to start the new year

We finally got all of Bella's biopsies back and we are happy to announce that they ALL came back negative. I don't think I have seen my daughter so excited over something in a long time. She jumped for joy and screamed at the top of her lungs....... her excitement brought me to tears. Of course, tears of happiness! She was so excited to tell her dad when he got home, it was cute! After months of never ending bad news, we welcomed this with open arms and celebrated the good news.
So, what does this all mean now? We move forward full force with treatments for her JA and psoriasis. We can be more aggressive with her treatments and focus on what we know she has. Last night she got her MTX injection, which she was not happy about. The injection hurt and she cried which is so heartbreaking.
Bella actually spent most of last night up in pain, I actually felt like I had a newborn baby. Finally after 2am she was able to get comfortable and fall asleep. She woke up in pain this AM, so she is home from school.
We put a message in to her doctor, so we wait to hear from her to see what we can do next. We did all the things the doctor said in the past to relieve her pain and nothing worked.
Her JA doctor is great and I know they will find some relief for her and make a plan.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
Thanks for checking in!
