  • You're on the same Facebook group as my mom :)

  • Wow. That was touching. I know how much suffering this illness brings to me, an adult. I can't even imagine how much harder it must be to be a child with this cruel illness. I really hope she has many more better days ahead. I hope we all do.

  • Emma, you are such an insperation. I just turned 26, got dianosed when I was 21. You are a brave girl. If you need anyone to talk to just let me know. You are so beautiful. Stay strong, Sending much love and peace and good health.
