Latest update on Kelley

| Hi BJ, and Wes, and Everyone Else,
First, my apologies for not having written in awhile, but again I need the
electronic shoulder to lean on...
Kelley has been struggling in her ongoing battle with lupus. She contracted
pneumonia again six weeks ago which her doctors have been treating with the
strongest oral antibiotics available. She has also developed nine more
spots on her legs and those already on face and arms are flaring again.
This all started when my parents gave us a hard time regarding how we were
raising our daughter, Kelsey - who will be 4 on 23Jan05. Mom and Dad use my
sister's kids as a measuring stick, but very selectively. My sister and
brother-in-law drink like fish just as my parents use to, and I witnessed
first-hand their drinking and driving in May05. A couple of weeks ago, I
also learned that while Kelsey stayed with them from Dec03-May04 (because
Kelley suffered a stroke, kidney & bowel shutdown and pneumonia), my mom
directed my sister to have an Autism test run on Kelsey because she had
speech issues. We are addressing Kelsey's speech issues with ChildFind's
help. The conflict got so bad after we brought Kelsey home in June04, that
this past weekend I had to sever our relationship with my parents and my
sister's family because the stress was causing unending lupus flares for
Kelley. Kelley and I are both very nervous as she nearly died on 20Dec03
from the aforementioned issues coupled with the fact that her health began
to decline again when the weather started turning cold.
Sorry to rant so much, Daniel

| My god you've been through the mill; I'm so sorry, are the family members
fully aware of the details of lupus, if so I think a total break from them
if only for a while could only be a good idea.
I do hope that things settle down for you all,
Deb (UK)
