Lisa Johnson started experiencing symptoms of arthritis as a child. As a result, she missed out on a lot of typical childhood activities. She often had to stay inside while other kids were outside playing, and missed school when she couldn’t walk. Her family knew right away that it was arthritis, as other members of her family had experienced similar symptoms. Her grandma was in a wheelchair at the end of her life and her dad had to have his knee replaced because of this painful disease.
Isabelle was first diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) when she was 2 years old. Her parents first noticed something was wrong while visiting the Seattle Aquarium for Mother’s Day. Izzy started limping and then simply stopped walking. This was very unusual for their rather energetic daughter. They immediately sought advice from her primary care physician and within two weeks had an appointment with a rheumatologist at Seattle Children’s. Since being diagnosed, Izzy has been to the operating room twice for steroid injections and is now receiving weekly shots at home in an attempt to prevent her immune system from attacking her joints.
