Paige's Leg

This picture cracks me up! She was laughing so hard!



Anyhow, as most of you know, Paige has been limping for about 3 1/2 weeks now. I took her to the pediatrician last Thursday and she recommended we try a few days of giving her Motrin 3 times a day to see if it was some sort of inflammation or tendonitis somewhere. Well, as of this morning she was still limping, so our next step was to get some x-rays of her whole right hip and leg. She did great and was such a big girl! We have to wait for a radiologist to read it and we should know more today or tomorrow. We will be going back to see the pediatrician tomorrow regardless. Please pray with us that it would be something simple and easy to treat. There are lots of possibilities to narrow down what it could be, which in turn makes me very nervous. Being a nurse is to my detriment in this case because I know too much! She is not complaing of pain at all, but sometimes children won't express pain even if they have a broken bone. We love her dearly and it makes me so sad to see her limp. We pray that we would know something quickly and will be able to treat it promptly.
