Lupus nephritis

[Bamabexchicks]

I'm not certain. As grand parents our input is somewhat limited. Her primary care specialist is a department head in one of the Baltimore hospitals so I hope this has been considered. Her medical condition coupled with the fact that she is an adopted Asian child in a Caucasian family is making life tough for her. The fact that her sister is 'near genius' level just adds to the mess. I can't help, and it tears me up.

I am praying for you and your sweet grandchild, that our creator will touch her body and make it all. That He will bring you strength and comfort you.

It's true that the stress of full time college causes her anxiety and seems to feed her flare ups. She did well in two semesters at community college, and plans to take a light course load there again. It's just that right now she feels like a failure. We can tell her all we want that it doesn't matter, but it does to her. She has always been a motivated kid, and once she starts working again and takes a lessened course load I hope that things will straighten out. It doesn't help that her younger sister is being courted by multiple colleges.

I told her that I was asked to leave college after dropping from dean's list to failing courses. She replied, "Yeah, but we know why that was."

Thanks. I don't know what God's purpose is here, but take comfort in the fact that with us she has life. If she were still in China she would probably be dead by now.

That's right! Nearly was killed couple of times in my life...but knew that I have a yet unfulfilled purpose.

3 times for me but, still don't know what my purpose is. Unless I'm meant to be a punching bag.

Oh Sour, so very sorry. I don't know how I didn't notice/appreciate the severity of your post. Reading it now, I know I bypassed all that was of major importance. How awful.

Words fail me. I wish I had the brilliance and insight to reply like Blooie. I wonder if she has read the news.

Sorry my dear friend, I know hugs aren't enough need to read and think much harder about this.

Sorry for being slow to post Sour. Somewhere along the line I seemed to have missed getting alerts when updates were posted.

Wishing your GD the best and the rest of the family also.

They'll be visiting this weekend - hoping for some improvement in situation and attitude.

I’m sorry, my friend. My kindest thoughts and most fervent prayers are with her.... and with you and the Princess.

@Wisher1000 thanks. Spoke with son this AM, and Jen is working her way out of her angst. She has been such a champion at dealing with this. This was the first time that she has openly faced/voiced her mortality. Too young to deal with that.
