And..........I don't have lupus! HURRAY. You have no idea how relieved I am. Honestly, this has been a nightmare the past few weeks for me, and I feel like right now I can breathe a huge sigh of relief! (complicated only by my shortness of breath) ;-) Apparently, whatever abnormalities the previous tests showed were resolved with this "more specific" test for lupus, and it came back negative. I was so elated when the doc called to tell me this. So, now what? I get to keep pluggin' along. I will have another echocardiogram (big fancy words make me feel so smart) in May to check and see if anything has changed. Basically, they will just keep monitoring it until it changes. When (or if, I suppose) it changes, then they will decide to do something.....But for now, I don't have lupus, THANK GOODNESS, and thank you to everyone for your faith and prayers. I have no doubt that Heavenly Father is watching over our family!

Honey
I am so happy for you. I know what you went through having been through it plenty of times myself. Just figure that whatever quirky thing is going on in your body, that your blessing is that it is not so bad that you have to worry about it! We love you!
