Gracey's World: Make-A-Wish Update

Gracey's World

On April 19, 2006 we learned our little Gracey developed a rare autoimmune disorder known as Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) - she was 5 1/2 years old. At that time Gracey had become very weak and absolutely unable to get up from the floor. The diagnosis was the beginning of a long road to remission as there is no cure for JDM. This site is meant to track Gracey's progress as she works hard every day to conquer JDM. Thank you for your support and please check back often.

Make-A-Wish Update

I got a call today from our local Make-A-Wish person, Gary, saying they heard back from the celebrity Gracey wishes to meet. Jennifer Love Hewitt said she was very excited about meeting Gracey and really looked forward to it. So far it appears we'll be heading for California sometime during the second half of January 2007. Plans will get more detailed as we get closer.

Gracey will be thrilled - we'll give her the update tonight!

We're still getting ready for Monday's checkup at Scottish Rite. Gracey has gotten very good at every physical activity. She's still having a little trouble holding her neck up but is practicing. Regardless I think she will score well on the physical test.
