Additional Explanations, Advocate, Friday Favorites:

I don’t even know if I truly outlined proper right here how this all bought right here to be… Remaining Monday night (5/13), Brooke carried out in her soccer sport and had an superior sport. The next day after school, she started complaining about her heel. I took her into urgent care to get an x-ray. I was nervous the ache might want to have been from her going from being completely inactive all through her tonsil restoration to 100% on the soccer topic. Presumably she obtained a fracture? Brooke outlined to the doctor that it felt like she had a knife going into her heel, and the X-rays bought right here once more clear, so the doctor thought it was plantar fasciitis. I ordered her some hokas, had her in Epsom salt baths, massaged her calves and toes, and we merely went on contemplating it was plantar (regardless that that’s terribly unusual in kids… nevertheless so is what occurred to her!).

Thursday morning, she wakened in screaming ache. Her foot, hand and hip have been in rather a lot ache that she wouldn’t let me near them. My insides suggested me one factor was truly mistaken; we might have appreciated to go in. I known as my brother, who’s the ER doctor, and he agreed that we might have appreciated to take her straight to the emergency room, and he suggested me she had an an an infection. The doctor throughout the ER suggested us that we might have appreciated to make an appointment with a rheumatologist or that that is maybe additional of a psychosomatic drawback because of nothing was purple or swollen, and she or he wasn’t truly fevering however… We suggested the doctor we weren’t leaving the hospital, so we might have appreciated to take care of working exams. A bit later, Brooke’s fever spiked (105 with Tylenol), and the blood exams bought right here once more saying one factor was majorly mistaken, after which we now have been admitted.

I’m so grateful we didn’t wait (I suggest, think about me, I’m kicking myself for not taking her in even sooner nevertheless I assumed it was plantar), because of I don’t know what would have occurred if we did.

Just a few points from our day:

We obtained out and went to Andrew’s sporting objects retailer.

Burrito bowls are always suggestion.

I missed two of my scuba classes whereas throughout the hospital and my trainer let me make them up closing night. It was merely in a pool nonetheless it felt like one of many very important pleasant points I’ve ever accomplished.
