I don’t even know if I actually defined right here how this all got here to be… Final Monday night time (5/13), Brooke performed in her soccer recreation and had an superior recreation. 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 will need to have been from her going from being utterly inactive throughout her tonsil restoration to 100% on the soccer subject. 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 toes, and we simply went on pondering it was plantar (regardless that that’s extraordinarily uncommon in youngsters… however so is what occurred to her!).
Thursday morning, she awoke in screaming ache. Her foot, hand and hip had been in a lot ache that she wouldn’t let me close to them. My insides informed me one thing was actually unsuitable; 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 could be extra of a psychosomatic challenge as a result of nothing was crimson 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 assessments. A bit later, Brooke’s fever spiked (105 with Tylenol), and the blood assessments got here again saying one thing was majorly unsuitable, after which we had 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.
Just some issues from our day:
We received out and went to Andrew’s sporting items retailer.
Burrito bowls are at all times a good suggestion.
I missed two of my scuba courses whereas within the hospital and my teacher let me make them up final night time. It was simply in a pool nevertheless it felt like one of the crucial enjoyable issues I’ve ever carried out.
