I was diagnosed his first day of kindergarten, and ever since, he's wanted to fix me. He's ten now, and plays video games, so he's always talking about growing up to be a "healer" and finding a way to fix my "soldiers" (that's how we explained the immune system to him).

Your wife may be going through a lot, but apparently you two have an amazing son to make up for that! I have lupus too and I like to share your blog with my boyfriend. I always try to make it obvious to him that I'm sick and that I will always be sick, because I want to make sure he's okay with that fact, if we consider spending the rest of our lives together. I've told him that I may not live that long, that I may not be able to have children, that I may be too weak and tired to do things. But just like you, he stands by my side through it all. My mom has lupus too, and my father is the same way, sticking by both my mom's and my side, through all of the pain, fatigue, doctor's appointments, medicine's side effects, emotions, etc. Ultimately, I just want to say that I really admire you, and your love and patience for your family. And your advocacy for lupus. I pray that all this will go away one day. Take care :) This post made me cry.
