CRMO Awareness Virtual 5K Walk-A-Thon - Team Abram
Thursday, October 31, 2024 in Anytime between October 5 - October 12, 2024.,
Join us for Walking for Abram!
CRMO (Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis) is a rare and serious disease. It involves inflammation of multiple bones that can be long-lasting or chronic. CRMO is an auto-inflammatory disease that causes inflammation on the bones, this inflammation causes painful lesions on the bone that cause the bone to break down.
Abram's journey with CRMO began when he was 5 years old with a persistent limp that would not go away. This limp appeared out of nowhere without injury. As the days turned into months his pain increased and he had days he was not able to walk from the pain. After many doctors appointments, blood draws, and tests, he was diagnosed with CRMO in July of 2021. His condition is currently controlled well with his medications and God's healing through the guidance of his doctors. We pray the medication is not only taking away his pain, but also controlling the inflammation in his bones to give them time to heal. This past year we started a new medication that makes Abram immunocompromised as a result he caught (and shared) many illnesses throughout the year. It has been a trying year in that regard. Abram will have a full body MRI this month to determine if the medicine is doing it's job. Overall Abram is doing well at this time. He is primarily pain-free! Hallelujah! We are thankful that he can run, jump, and play like the little boy he is. We are hopeful that this next MRI will show a full resolution of his lesions. If it does he will still have another full year on his current medication and if he has a second clear MRI he will be considered in remission!
We thank you for praying with us and walking this journey. We of course would love it if you could join us for the virtual 5K, but what we really covet is your prayers for healing and guidance in this journey!
Thank you!
