    For those of you who Know about my Lorelei..

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Lorelei is 6 now by the way, and has been in and out of the hospital for pretty much her whole life. She has an Auto immune disease that is very rare (only 2,000 people in this world have it). Well she is not doing well AGAIN. Her blood work has just gone haywire and her eye's are turning yellow (the whites). This is so frustrating! She does well then crashes.
    My poor sister (lorelei is my niece for those who don't know)is beside herself . This always comes about when they try and take her off steroids. this will be the the 3rd time they have tried and and it has turned bad. Last time we almost lost her. PLEASE PLEASE send healing thoughts, prayer's anything you do to have good healing thoughts for other people. Thank you my friends!
    I just want to scream right now!!!!!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    Crap! This little one needs to just worry about playground boo-boos.

    Hope she gets to feeling better soon, and comfort juju to Mom and Auntie too.

    Life can be so unfair for some, especially for your sweet little Lorelei

    Amen to that! Brandi, I will keep your precious niece in my prayers. Let's hope she bounces back quick and becomes a handful again.
