This is a pic of little man after having a NICE ice cream treat about a week ago....notice the chocolate all around the mouth?! 
So...Sunday night Coby started complaining about his knee hurting. He would NOT stand OR walk on it at all! At first I took it as a game, there was no cuts, no blood, no bruising, no bug bites...NOTHING that I could SEE!
So...Sunday night Coby started complaining about his knee hurting. He would NOT stand OR walk on it at all! At first I took it as a game, there was no cuts, no blood, no bruising, no bug bites...NOTHING that I could SEE!Well, it continued through the night and into Monday morning. I took him to his pediatrician Monday morning, because I knew something must be really wrong if he wouldn't even WALK!
The pediatrcian took x-rays and did blood work. Of course we won't get the results back until today! However, at this point she is GUESSING it possibly could be arthritis! Yes...arthritis in a 4 year old!!! It broke my heart! (Almost my back too- it is NOT easy carrying around a 42 pound 4 year old.)
So today - pawpaw volunteered to come over and hang out with Coby. Pawpaw called a few minutes ago - and guess what?! Coby was up walking around! YEA!!! I was SO happy to hear it - just worry he may "over do it!"
And still waiting waiting waiting on the dr office to call back and let us know what the blood work says. I can't help but wonder if this is something that will happen again and again, or if this was just a one time thing!?
One more thing for mommy to worry about.....these kids have NO clue how many gray hairs they have given me!!!
Hope everything turns out to be ok! Isn't it nice to get to carry him just a little =) I love when I can carry my little boy even if it's just a few feet. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sheila, I hope you guys get a definitive answer.....
ReplyDeleteI'd be super worried, too, but I'm kinda that way!
Poor Coby! I hope they figure out what it is {and that it's not arthritis!} soon!!
ReplyDeleteHope he recovers and it was just a fluke kind of thing... and then you should thank them for the amazing spa day that they need to send you on:-)
ReplyDeleteShelia he is sooooo cute!!!! and I am happy to hear the good news(fb)...abby had some weird knee pain too and it had me really worried
ReplyDeleteHope you hear something soon!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard about "growing pains." That they are real and they affect the legs. I wonder if he's getting ready to shoot up a foot?
ReplyDeleteI hope it ends up being something less serious than arthritis. I am glad he is up and walking aorund!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I hope he's okay!!! all my love xoxo
