My mother has been diagnosed with Scleroderma, it is a nasty disease hear is a link to it.http://www.scleroderma.org/medical/overview.shtm
It can be a very long and pain full situation but with a lot of Disney magic I hope she can get past this. It eventually takes over your internal organs and can shut them down, she already has the advanced signs of it going in to her neck, her arms are real bad. This is a picture of us at Disney last October. She is a great person and needs as much help as she can. The medical trail is not payed for by her insurance (retired Army veteran as a nurse) and will cost over $200 thousand dollars, and there is no guarantee.

I am praying for your mom and all of you. My aunt has the disease and in her case it has been a slow progression so we will pray your moms will slow down too.
A great picture!

Thanks, I appreciate the prayers and the thoughts. We just head about a DR in Illinois that does a different treatment than the SCOTS so she is going to try and set appointment with him, hopefully she can get in soon. With his treatment he pulls out a great amount of cells and Through time cleans them and after cleaned they are put back in to the body. with the SCOTS you have to have all blood changed and then you go on chemo. If anyone needs a link to the DR in Illinois let me know, he has treated people that can not even breath on there own and can not walk and helped them to a huge recovery. Again thanks from my family.

Truly from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank all of the wel wishers, she has made a appointment with a specialist in Illinois to see if he will accept her as a new patient, thru all of this I have come to realize that it can be very draining on a person, not only me but the entire family. We had a small fund raiser but just did not met or expectations, we are hopeing that the DR will come speak at another fund raiser in October.
