Here is a sweet video of a little girl who not only has JRA, but also a complication of it called "UVEITIS." Uveitis is caused when the blood vessels behind the eyes swell, causing blind spots and if not treated quickly, complete blindness. Most often, there are no symptoms. It occurs suddenly and without warning. It is a constant worry...
This is for my friends and family who wish to follow Wesley's journey with Oligoarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Uveitis. Even though the pictures and his story aren't always pleasant, it's real and this disease is trying to take over my sweet little boys life... We simply won't let it. Arthritis not only affects adults and the elderly, it also attacks children. 300,000 children struggle with this disease. Wesley, our little 8 year old angel, is unfortunately among those statistics.
