I don’t even know if I actually defined right here how this all got here to be… Final Monday evening (5/13), Brooke performed in her soccer sport and had an superior sport. The following day after college, she began complaining about her heel. I took her into pressing care to get an x-ray. I used to be nervous the ache will need to have been from her going from being utterly inactive throughout her tonsil restoration to 100% on the soccer subject. Possibly she obtained a fracture? Brooke defined to the physician that it felt like she had a knife going into her heel, and the X-rays got here again clear, so the physician thought it was plantar fasciitis. I ordered her some hokas, had her in Epsom salt baths, massaged her calves and toes, and we simply went on considering it was plantar (regardless that that’s extraordinarily uncommon in youngsters… however so is what occurred to her!).
Thursday morning, she wakened in screaming ache. Her foot, hand and hip have been in a lot ache that she wouldn’t let me close to them. My insides advised me one thing was actually mistaken; we would have liked to go in. I referred to as my brother, who’s the ER physician, and he agreed that we would have liked to take her straight to the emergency room, and he advised me she had an an infection. The physician within the ER advised us that we would have liked to make an appointment with a rheumatologist or that this is perhaps extra of a psychosomatic problem as a result of nothing was purple or swollen, and he or she wasn’t actually fevering but… We advised the physician we weren’t leaving the hospital, so we would have liked to maintain working exams. A bit later, Brooke’s fever spiked (105 with Tylenol), and the blood exams got here again saying one thing was majorly mistaken, after which we have been admitted.
I’m so grateful we didn’t wait (I imply, imagine me, I’m kicking myself for not taking her in even sooner however I assumed it was plantar), as a result of I don’t know what would have occurred if we did.
Only a few issues from our day:
We obtained out and went to Andrew’s sporting items retailer.
Burrito bowls are at all times a good suggestion.
I missed two of my scuba lessons whereas within the hospital and my teacher let me make them up final evening. It was simply in a pool nevertheless it felt like one of the vital enjoyable issues I’ve ever completed.
