Scary moment – glad she just didn’t want to do her chore.

My first visit to your site, you have melted my heart. i remeber the mommy moments, at this stage in my life where I wait impatiently for the grandma moments.
read your post to my own mother, who is firmly enscounced in grandma-hood, and gave a most grandma-like answer, ‘she had to fold clothes with her leg hurt? poor dear,that’s not right…’ ROTFLMBO

Oh, I’d hoped nurses didn’t struggle with that. I guess I don’t need to go back to school then.

I think we all get those fears when we lightheartedly brush off their pains.

My eldest is constantly waking up tired (but can’t go to sleep any earlier), wants to stay home from school about once a week and then plays all day as if nothing is wrong. She loves school, so it’s no school avoidance. I’ve come to the conclusion that adolescence is not far away. I hope that’s all it is. (Not that puberty is a little thing!)

The adrenaline rushes through us and then it drops, the joy of kids and what they can do to our heart strings and our insides! But sadly it is like a drug and we are addicted to it and wouldn’t have it any other way. Glad she is fine and just trying to get out of work! Although my 4yr complains of a stomach ache most mornings and again at night at dinner, I have put it down to hunger but like you always have these other thoughts racing through my head, thinking how stupid it would look if anything ever came up for a nurse to have ignored her sons complaints!

Owlhaven – I read your blog all the time but I have never posted before. My 8 year old daughter too has complained at times about pains in her legs. I always dismissed them as nothing serious until last winter when she could barely walk one day. I had her tested but they never found out what it was. This month it happened again. I took her to the Doctor and after an examination and some blood work I was told that she had “Benign acute childhood myositis” – google it. Has your daughter had the flu lately?

My 8 yr old complained of excruciating pain in her leg off and on for a while and I shrugged it off. I even posted on my blog about phantom pains, they come and go. It turned out to be nothing, but my mom hassled me until I took her to the doctor who then ordered a $600 blood test. Three hrs later we found out exactly what I thought all along. It was nothing. Don’t you hate it when you don’t just trust your instincts?
