My cute little Zoey is having a rough week. Friday morning when I got home from work, I noticed she was limping. When assessing her leg, she would push me away when I felt her right tibia, and only in this spot. The pediatric nurse in me came out. Lots of things, both minor and major, could be wrong, and I wasn't willing to wait it out. So...off to the doctor's office we went. Besides, I think she needed some one on one time anyways. We started with x-rays (that was fun) since Maizy is not a gentle sister. She pulls Zoey off the couches by her legs, plus we have caught her standing on Zoey's legs as well. Unfortunately, they revealed nothing wrong. The doctor said we could wait through the weekend, or we could do lab work then. What do you think was my answer? Yes, I had them torture my daughter and draw blood work. Her counts looked okay, which was my main worry to begin with. Even despite this looking okay, there can still be several things wrong. If she continues to limp, which unfortunately she is, we will call the office Monday morning and most likely be referred to the Orthopedic office for further evaluation. There are certain things than one can wait and see what happens, but not limps. I've seen way too many bad things because people "waited" to see if it went away. I wish she could just tell me what was bothering her.

What is going on?

Don't you hate that they can't just tell you whats up it's so sad. My kids go to dr. silas at the syracuse wee care. But lately we have just been going to who ever is on call at the layton weecare. Ya i knew we had the same dentist we have actually talked of you guys before. (All good of course.)We sure love dr. jones and his staff they are so nice to my kids and i did'nt want my kids to hate the dentist like i did when i was a kid.
Poor little girl :(
I'm so sorry, Bri. Give her big hugs for me. I hope that someone figures out what is going on! Let me know if I can do anything for you.
I hope it's nothing...it was good to see you all Saturday even if just for a few minutes.
