Lupus Living

It has been a little over a year since I have posted & although I waited so long. Its ok because Im back. This lupus patient will never let much keep me down. So much has been going on, There has been alot of life changing events going on. I had a baby everyone, he is healthy & happy!!! He put me in remission, but gave me some other symptoms. Once you are diagnosed with Lupus, no matter what is going on remission or not you will always have some type of Lupus symptom. Im healthy & of course happy about my new bundle of joy, who is five months now. My son was born on April 10, 2011 at 8:17 p.m. I went into labor early and he was born 5 weeks early. As with all lupus patients when we find out we are pregnant, my first thought was fear & many questions. I was told not to get pregnant & actually the last time I blogged August of last year, my egg was being fertilized. I wrote a book about living with lupus & being pregnant & it will be released & ready to be purchased next April when my son turns one. I named my son after my father who passed last year & after his grandfather. His father picked his first name. My sons name is Chance O'Dan Al Richardson & he is a precious gift from God. I want lupus patients all over the world to know that it is possible. It was not easy & it was scary, but I made it through & so did my son. I had many other lupus patients with children help walk me through the fears & questions & I have some great physicians. Be on the look out for my book which will be updated on my website April 2012 www.lupiehugs.com Speaking of lupie hugs, everyone I am back to Purple Healers, Inc business & lupie hugs products will be available next month.Life changing events will help make you stronger. Thank You for continueing to follow my blog on my lupus journey. I will make sure to keep you updated on my lupus blood levels, my lupus nephritis (kidney disease) & the growth & development of my son.
