"I'm not sure that Cody is ready for flying solo...especially since he has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. His joints are weak."

I am sorry to hear that. Are there any treatments that can improve his joints?

None that they are trying yet. They put him in therapy...but the therapist started manipulating his joints...he screamed in pain so I called his Rheumatologist, and she said a child with JRA should NEVER be manipulated. It releases toxins into their body!

There is a chance he could outgrow this...or he may be in a wheelchair before he hits highschool.
