I was 7 years old when I was diagnosed with JDMS (7/05/05). I was really scared when the doctor told me what was wrong. I felt better knowing my parents would be with me and help me to get better. There have been some very nice doctors and nurses that we've met at the hospital (CHOP in Philadelphia, PA). My favorite things to do are drawing, swimming, and making jewelry. I live in New Jersey with my mom, dad, sister Heather and brother Bryce. We have a beagle mix puppy, and he is so fun to love and play with.
