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 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 apprehensive the ache will need to have been from her going from being fully inactive throughout her tonsil restoration to 100% on the soccer subject. Perhaps 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 pondering 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 had been in a lot ache that she wouldn’t let me close to them. My insides instructed me one thing was actually improper; we wanted to go in. I known as my brother, who’s the ER physician, and he agreed that we wanted to take her straight to the emergency room, and he instructed me she had an an infection. The physician within the ER instructed us that we wanted to make an appointment with a rheumatologist or that this is likely to be extra of a psychosomatic difficulty as a result of nothing was purple or swollen, and he or she wasn’t actually fevering but… We instructed the physician we weren’t leaving the hospital, so we wanted to maintain operating exams. A bit later, Brooke’s fever spiked (105 with Tylenol), and the blood exams got here again saying one thing was majorly improper, after which we had 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.
Just some issues from our day:
We obtained 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 night time. It was simply in a pool but it surely felt like one of the vital stress-free issues I’ve ever executed.
