And Humira begins

We began Humira on June 11, 2014.  Even though I had given the Enbrel shot before, it had been awhile and we had heard Humira burns!  Well it did burn and he cried. I cried and felt horrible.  He said the needle did not hurt, just the medicine going in his leg.  If it works, it will all be worth it though!  He had one day of relief after the shot.  :(

2nd shot-  I did better on administering it but it still burned.  The burning only lasts a little while and he knows what to expect now.  After this shot he seemed to have many more better days then worse days.  We are so hopeful now!!!

I gave him the 3rd shot tonight.  It seemed to go much better.  It still burned but he tolerated it much better.  He knows that it is making him feel better.  He even made the comment to me the other day that he would much rather get a shot then have to the pills.  Go figure...this is definitely not the same child I had 2 years ago.

I hope and pray that he will be able to play sports and get back to being active again with friends.
