About The Author
When Kelly’s daughter was diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis, a rare auto-immune disease, she looked for resources to help her child understand what an infusion day would be like….but she couldn’t find anything. That’s when she decided to create it herself and asked her talented young niece, Elleigh, to illustrate it. Because rare diseases impact the entire family, Kelly’s hope is this book will help prepare children and their siblings for the changes ahead.

Caroline continues to receive IVIG treatments regularly, and thankfully she has been responding well to treatment. Her big sister, Lily, continues to be the most compassionate sibling a chronically ill child could ask for.

A former television news reporter, Kelly spent years story-telling, but this one is her favorite story she’s ever told. Kelly lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband Kevin, and two sweet girls.
