Update

It's been a few days and we have been really busy. Sorry to keep you all waiting. It's always something with our family....or at least it has been lately. Andrew has still been complaining of his hip hurting so I sent an application to Shriner's to see if they will see him and help us figure this out. Then, Grace started having accidents and said it hurt when she peed. So, I made an appt for her to make sure she doesn't have a UTI and we are waiting for the results from that. I had planned on leaving Andrew with my neighbor for the appt but decided to just take him with me and I'm glad I did. The dr. asked about his leg and I told her how it was changing so much of our lives and he still won't run and it was hard to figure out where to have his birthday party. He isn't playing sports because he would have to run. David has been really sad lately because of this leg situation. The biggest problem is that we have no clue what is wrong or what happened or if there is anything wrong for sure but the limping is not going away. Anyway, she decided to send him for more x-rays of his hip and also his knee and wants to see us for a follow up appt in 2 weeks and will then refer us to an orthopaedic doctor to check further into this. So after applying to Shriner's I most likely will not be going but I wasn't sure I wanted to take him back to our pediatrician because the last time she thought it had become a habit. Now she is checking for some more scary stuff. I'm not scared about it, I just want an answer to why this is happening and why he has been limping for 4 months. So, for now we wait.

  1. Hi Melissa and David, I am sorry that you are going through this with Andrew. You know it is probably growing pains, but it is good that you are checking it out thoroughly. Love to you all, Kathy

  2. Honey, it could be anything from a 'pulled' muscle to 'growing pains'. I know 2 weeks is a long time to wait, so be patient.
    If you get a chance to use the Shriner's, do it.
    They have some of the best doctors to choose from.

  3. Oh my goodness. I hope you figure out what is going on with the both of them. It is so hard when you aren't getting answers. Keep us posted.
