Lupus Blog Spotlight: Lupus Christian Support

Hey everyone ...

Getting a later start on my blog writing than I had anticipated. Weekend in Jersey was a good one. It was nice to have a change of scenery and see some family. Saw Enchanted, which is very cute. Got to eat at Friendly's, which is my favorite place to get ice cream. And I saw a bunch of wild turkeys roaming the streets of Jersey. Who knew?

Let's jump into some lupus news.

The April 2008 Webchat will take place on Wednesday, April 9 at 3 p.m. Eastern. Dr. Bevra Hahn will be guest hosting the chat: "Ask the Doc: An Open Forum." What that means is Dr. Hahn will be taking any and all questions about lupus, as long as they're not patient-specific. If you'd like to submit a question in advance, you can do so here.

You can read the March 2008 transcript about kidneys and lupus here.

Lupus Blog Spotlight
Finally, I would like to turn your attention to another lupus blog. It is called Lupus Christian Support.

The blogger is Given55. She is a Christian counselor and an ordained minister. She also has lupus. She created the blog to provide support for others who have also been diagnosed with lupus.

I know some of you already have ... but if you get a moment, swing by Lupus Christian Support and say hi to Given55.

Until next time, Wick
