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 subsequent day after faculty, she began complaining about her heel. I took her into pressing care to get an x-ray. I used to be frightened the ache should have been from her going from being utterly inactive throughout her tonsil restoration to 100% on the soccer discipline. Possibly she received 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 ft, and we simply went on considering it was plantar (although that’s extraordinarily uncommon in youngsters… however so is what occurred to her!).
Thursday morning, she awakened 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 informed me one thing was actually incorrect; 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 informed me she had an an infection. The physician within the ER informed us that we would have liked to make an appointment with a rheumatologist or that this is perhaps extra of a psychosomatic subject as a result of nothing was pink or swollen, and he or she wasn’t actually fevering but… We informed the physician we weren’t leaving the hospital, so we would have liked to maintain working checks. A bit later, Brooke’s fever spiked (105 with Tylenol), and the blood checks got here again saying one thing was majorly incorrect, after which we have been admitted.
I’m so grateful we didn’t wait (I imply, consider 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 received out and went to Andrew’s sporting items retailer.
Burrito bowls are all the time 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 but it surely felt like probably the most enjoyable issues I’ve ever carried out.
