The next two weeks are going to be extremely busy with PTA stuff. I was planning on doing a lot of running around today in preparation for the next few weeks. That all came to a screeching halt this morning when Matthew woke up unable to put any pressure on his left leg.
I knew that no trauma had occurred since I was with him last night but I also knew that he wasn't faking it so I called the dr. They were able to fit him in if I could leave my house in 20 minutes. The kids and I weren't dressed yet and the younger two's bags weren't packed for MDO. Miraculously, we made it in time.
After a visit and x-rays (which in total took almost 3 hours) it was determined that more than likely, Matthew had had a virus recently and it attacked the bursa behind Matthew's knee cap. One of my good friend's husband read the x-ray and took us back to show Matthew his leg. He was fascinated! So, my plans came to a screeching halt and I spent the rest of the day babying Matthew!
I was able to do quite a bit of work at the house and having just Matthew home was a fun reminder of how it used to be!
Had a thought.

Hope Matthew is OK again soon! When I was 12, the flu settled in a muscle in my neck. We ended up in the ER getting me tested for meningitis. Scary! I missed school for a week because I couldn't move my neck without horrific pain. The human body can be weird sometimes!
Well we were talking about trying to slow down... I have ever heard of a virus settling in a joint! Weird! Hope he feels better soon!
Hope he feels better soon!
