Update on Paige

We went to the doctor today for Paige again. The results for the x-rays were normal. They did some blood work and Paige was so very brave. She didn't shed a tear. She talked to us through the whole ordeal and lingered on the promise of a lollipop after it was over! Her blood count was done while we were in the office and showed that there were no preliminary signs of cancer. It doesn't completely rule it out but gives us a good idea that that's probably not what it is. They sent the rest of the labs off so it will be a while before we hear back about those. They are testing for signs of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. That can be treated but not necessarily cured. Still, better than cancer. So, we're still in somewhat of the same boat because we don't know what it is. However, we are able to mark some things off that it's not. Thank you all for your prayers and help so far, and please continue to come alongside us in prayer as we find out what the cause is.
