Hard Day

I'm blogging about my day for me. To get it out and hopefully get some peace. It was a very LONG and rough morning/afternoon.
Teagan has been complaining for MONTHS about her knee hurting. The past few weeks it has also been her belly hurting. I chalked it up to her wanting some extra snuggle time because we have a fairly new baby still and another on the way...you know, attention seeking. In the back of my mind I had concerns, but it seems like they only hurt first thing in the morning and by the afternoon, she's ok and even acting like a dog, cat, kangaroo, horse, etc and on all 4s plowing through the house.
This morning she woke up around 8:30 and came into my room crying and could barely walk. She said her knee hurt and was also holding her thigh. I knew it was time to take her to the doctor. Enter the backstory....Randi had cancer while pregnant with Teagan. She had chemo treatments while pregnant with Teagan. Family history of cancer plus the constant pain and bruises and I was certain it was definately luekemia. (overreact much, I know) Insert google...it confirmed what I thought too with the symptoms I mentioned. Add in some pregnancy hormones and postpartum hormones and I was a total wreck most of the morning.
We went to the doctor (keep in mind, Teagan wouldn't even walk down the stairs this morning. I had to carry BOTH her and Emmersyn) and the doctor asked her several questions about "does this hurt", "does that hurt", and bent her legs up and back and all over. Of course Teagan, in typical 3 yr old fashion, says "no" to everything...Thank you Teagan! The dr did notice her limp though and grab her hip when she asked Teagan to run down the hall. A little concerned about that so she sent us to get x-rays on her pelvis, hip, and knee. Everything was taken and sent to the dr office and I no sooner walked in my house (30 minutes later) and the dr called. The x-rays were all clear. There is no muscular/skeletal reason for her knee to hurt. She said to try ibuprofen for a few weeks (could be inflammed) and see if that helps. If it is still hurting, they will do blood work to test for luekemia and blood counts.
I asked about that first thing considering the family history on Teagan, and the dr said she doesn't suspect anything like that and wanted to do some less invasive tests first (non blood drawing). She also said since Teagan is not "sickly" and is thriving, gaining weight, and all around healthy, she doesn't think that is an issue. However, I'd rather air on the safe side and catch things early IF there is anything.
Thanks for bearing with me! Just wanted to get it out so I can later see how crazy I sounded! LOL
