We headed to Iowa City for Mara's 4 month check up, and everything looked great! It has been a bit uneasy taking things day by day, waiting for her to complain about pain and periodically checking for inflammation in her joints. We were very thankful to hear that everything looked great! We haven't been going to physical therapy for a couple of months since I didn't feel like it was necessarily helping, and our rheumatologist agreed that it isn't needed anymore. We head back to Iowa City in 3 months for another check up.
We participated in the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis. Thanks to family and friends, we were the top individual fundraiser with over $1,000!
We made some jingle bell reindeer necklaces, and Grandma J got the kids these Santa hats.
Great Grandpa was getting decked with shoelace jingle bells.
All bundled up and ready to ride!
Cousin G's family was busy with a wedding, so he got to come with Grandpa and Grandma.
I haven't run in about a month, and Lance pushed the stroller the entire way. Needless to say, we did struggle a bit. We had to top several times to adjust blankets, and Mara wasn't real happy about riding in the stroller and being cold the last half of the race. But we made it!
Waiting in the warm car for the rest of our team to finish.
Mara thought it was pretty special to run across the finish line when Grandpa arrived.
Thanks so much to all our friends and family for donating to and participating in the Jingle Bell race. We really appreciate your thoughtfulness and support.
